City Eyeing New Goalkeeper, Chiefs Man An Option?


Cape Town City are believed to be eyeing a Kaizer Chiefs star as a potential transfer target in the near future as they look to bolster their goalkeeping department.

As reported by the Siya crew last week, unconfirmed reports revealed that Brilliant Khuzwayo’s contract with Amakhosi is set to come to an end next year, June 30 and according to Siya sources Chiefs are looking to tie the goalkeeper down on a new long-term deal.

However, sources have since informed Soccer Laduma that the Chiefs’ shot-stopper is currently assessing his options, despite his known loyalty to the Amakhosi black and gold colours, indicating that Khuzwayo is hungry for regular game-time.

Sources have added that City are believed to be one of the admirers of the player’s trade, with the Mother City-based club keen to add a star goalkeeper to their books in the near future.

It is believed that Khuzwayo’s name has been mentioned as one of the many possible transfer targets for the club, with City also recently linked with Bidvest Wits’ Moeneeb Josephs.

The Citizens currently have Shuaib Walters, Sage Stephens and Samora Motloung on their books as first team goalkeepers for the current 2017/18 season, with Head Coach Benni McCarthy yet to find his number one man between the sticks.

City have been rotating between Walters and Stephens in their starting line-ups, indicating that McCarthy might not yet be completely satisfied with either of his goalkeeper’s performances.

It is clear that the Citizens will look to make a high-profile goalkeeper signing in the near future and with both Khuzwayo and Josephs currently in the final year of their contracts with their respective clubs, it remains to be seen whether the Mother City-based club will look to approach Chiefs or Wits in the upcoming January transfer window period.

What a gentleman – Maponyane

We have asked five former Kaizer Chiefs players from five different decennia, starting with the foundation of the club on 7 January 1970 to now, to talk about their relationship with Chairman Kaizer Motaung for his 73rd birthday on Monday, 16 October 2017. Marks Maponyane (1980s) “What a gentleman,” Marks Maponyane says about Chairman Kaizer Motaung. “He’s also somebody who is prepared to listen and give honest advice when needed. Kaizer really loves his team and the beautiful game of soccer.” Motaung was nearing the end of his soccer career in the seventies, when Maponyane was still a teenager. “I would often go with a few friends to watch Kaizer Chiefs play,” the former striker remembers. “We would walk from Meadowlands to Orlando after having saved money during the week to be able to buy a ticket.” Maponyane played for the Glamour Boys from 1981 until 1991. “I was completely in awe when meeting Kaizer for the first time,” he admits. He points out that “as much as Kaizer played th...

City To Extend Ndou’s Stay?

Sources have alerted the Siya crew that despite earlier reports that Polokwane City intended to part ways with veteran striker Rendani Ndou, the Limpopo-based club may now look to retain the services of the 30-year-old forward.  Ndou has been with Rise and Shine for the past three years and reports surfaced that he could be making an exit when his contract comes to an end. However, Siya sources have revealed that City may look to keep the experienced striker at the club.    Earlier reports suggested that Ndou along with teammates Tshepo Tema and Randy Ngobe were left out in the cold by the club as they were no longer in the future plans of coach Bernard Molekwa. However, sources close to the club indicated that Ndou is in line for a two-year extension that would see him remain at the club until 2020.      Ndou signed a three-year deal with Polokwane City back in 2014 after Black Leopards failed to gain promotion to the P...
