Kaizer Chiefs fans, buckle up — there’s some exciting movement behind the scenes as the club looks to refresh its ranks with promising youth.

Pitso Mosimane’s Son Heads to Italy for a Trial with Roma
One name that’s creating a buzz right now is Reatlegile Mosimane — and yes, he’s the son of coaching legend Pitso Mosimane.
The 14-year-old forward has caught the attention of Italian giants AS Roma, where he’s headed for a trial.
Reatlegile made waves last season by netting an impressive 38 goals, helping Kaizer Chiefs’ U13 squad clinch the Gauteng Development League title.
His performance didn’t just earn him the top scorer title — it may now land him an international break.
He’s looking to follow the path of Ikenna Tladi, a nine-year-old South African winger who recently signed with Roma.
Chiefs Target Cape Town Spurs Duo Amid Contract Confusion
Back home, Kaizer Chiefs are eyeing two young attackers from Cape Town Spurs: Luke Baartman and Asanele Velebayi.

However, Cape Town Spurs are pushing back legally, claiming the players are still under contract.
It’s turning into a courtroom chess match.
As for the players, 22-year-old Velebayi featured in 23 games in the recent Betway Premiership season, while 19-year-old Baartman made nine appearances and bagged two goals.

The legal standoff with Cape Town Spurs might slow things down — or potentially derail the plans altogether.
But with a clear eye on youthful firepower and long-term development, the Chiefs seem determined to strengthen their squad, even if it means navigating some legal minefields first.
