Chiefs Confirm 5 Major Player Loans
Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed that five players—two senior squad members and three from the Youth Development Academy—have been sent on loan to Motsepe Foundation Championship clubs to gain valuable game time this coming season.
Midfielder Samkelo Zwane, who spent time on loan at Siwelele FC last season, and goalkeeper Bontle Molefe have joined newly promoted Cape Town side Hope FC.
Meanwhile, academy prospects Vicky Mkhawana and Ofentse Kgosana have joined Mpumalanga-based Real Natives FC (formerly known as Casric Stars), while Sfiso Simba will remain in Gauteng to spend the campaign at Gomora FC.
“Kaizer Chiefs can confirm that two senior players and three from the Youth Development Academy have secured loan moves to gain valuable experience at various clubs,” the club said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Midfielder Samkelo Zwane and goalkeeper Bontle Molefe – both members of the senior squad – will spend this season at Cape Town-based Hope FC, where they will compete in the Motsepe Foundation Championship under the auspices of the PSL.
“In addition, three promising talents from the Academy have also been sent out on loan. Ofentse Kgosana and Vicky Mkhawana join Real Natives (formerly Casric Stars) in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga, for the season, while Sfiso Simba will remain in Gauteng to spend the campaign at Gomora FC.”
The Motsepe Foundation Championship is set to begin later this month.
