Kaizer Chiefs face growing pressure in South Africa as RS Berkane submits official bid to sign Simba striker Steven Mukwala

As Kaizer Chiefs gear up for the upcoming season, the big question on everyone’s mind is this: will they finally land the goal-scoring machine they’ve been hunting for?

It’s no secret that scoring goals has been a major headache for the Soweto giants over the past few seasons.

With their attacking department under the microscope and fans desperate for change, Chiefs are making it clear—they’re ready to go all in for a striker who can deliver the goods.

Who’s on Chiefs’ Radar?

With the club openly looking to fix their issues in the final third, a number of attacking names have already started swirling around the rumour mill.

In terms of strikers, Fiston Mayele, Etiosa Ighodaro, and Robert Polievka have all been linked.

Chiefs are also reportedly considering a few wingers, with Oswin Appollis, Elias Mokwana, Mihlali Mayambela, and Keletso Makgalwa catching the club’s attention.

The big buzz recently? That Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi had travelled to Egypt to personally try and convince Mayele to join the squad.

This came after he allegedly succeeded in bringing Feisal Salum on board for the new season.

During that North African trip, the Tunisian-born coach was even spotted at a match between Simba SC and Sinigida, scouting talent up close.

Steven Mukwala Enters the Chat

Then things really started heating up when reports broke that Chiefs had a behind-closed-doors meeting to discuss a move for Steven Dese Mukwala, a prolific Ugandan striker currently with Simba SC.

But just as Amakhosi fans were starting to get excited about the potential signing, another name entered the fray—RS Berkane from Morocco.

North African Giants Make Their Move

According to reports from Africafoot and confirmed by Soccer-Laduma, RS Berkane have officially thrown their hat in the ring with a $300,000 (roughly R5.6 million) bid for Mukwala.

That price tag might just set the bar for any club hoping to sign him.

Now, the ball is in Chiefs’ court. They have to decide quickly if they’re willing to match or beat Berkane’s offer.

With Mukwala still under contract at Simba, things could get complicated—and expensive.

Decision Time for Amakhosi

The race for Mukwala is officially heating up. Chiefs are clearly serious about reinforcing their attack, but RS Berkane’s aggressive offer adds real pressure.

The next move could make or break the deal.

Fans are now wondering: should Chiefs go all out to secure Mukwala? Is the price tag worth it for a striker of his calibre?
