With the new football season fast approaching, Kaizer Chiefs aren’t wasting any time getting their squad into shape.
Newly appointed head coach Nasreddine Nabi is already setting a strong tone—he’s making bold changes, and the midfield is right at the center of his game plan.
From the look of things, Nabi wants a major refresh in the middle of the park, and he’s not being shy about targeting fresh talent.
Among those reportedly on his radar? Tanzanian international Feisal Salum and South African midfielder Sipho Mbule.
Their arrival could completely shake up the engine room at Naturena.
What Happens to Zwane in This Midfield Shake-Up?
Unfortunately, this new direction could come at a cost for some of the club’s existing players—particularly 23-year-old Samkelo Zwane.
Last season, Zwane only managed to clock 13 appearances across all competitions.
And with new signings potentially inbound, his place in the squad is looking more uncertain than ever.
Insiders say Zwane’s camp isn’t sitting around waiting to see what happens.
Talks are reportedly being planned with Chiefs’ management to get some clarity.
Does Zwane still fit into Nabi’s long-term vision? Or is it time to explore other options—possibly even a loan deal?
AmaZulu and Others Watching the Situation Closely
As you might expect, other clubs have started to take notice of Zwane’s uncertain position.
One name that keeps coming up is AmaZulu, who are reportedly monitoring the situation in case the Chiefs decide to make him available.
A source close to the player told the media, “I don’t know about any AmaZulu interest, but the boy needs game time.
The way I see it right now, he’s going nowhere, as things stand.”
So while nothing is confirmed, the interest is definitely brewing.
Zwane Still Wants to Fight for His Spot
Despite all the talk, Zwane himself isn’t giving up. He’s said to be focused on staying with the Chiefs and proving his worth under the new coach.
But at the same time, he and his team know the risks.
Another season stuck on the bench could seriously hurt his growth—especially at this critical stage in his career.
It’s a tough call: stay and fight for a spot, or leave in search of regular minutes and a fresh start?
