As the new Betway Premiership season edges closer, Kaizer Chiefs are making some big changes—and one of them includes saying farewell to Tebogo Potsane.
After just two seasons with the club, the 31-year-old winger is officially moving on, bringing an end to what was once a promising stint in black and gold.
Potsane’s Exit No Surprise After Preseason Snub
Potsane’s departure didn’t exactly come out of the blue.
When Chiefs headed to the Netherlands for their two-week preseason camp, many noticed that the Bloemfontein-born winger was missing from the traveling squad.
That absence was an early sign that the writing was on the wall.
The former Royal AM player, who joined Chiefs in 2023 under then-coach Molefi Ntseki, made just 19 appearances for the club before the decision was made to part ways.
Official Word from Amakhosi
The announcement came directly from the club, shared via social media:
“Potsane Leaves Amakhosi,” the statement read.
The post added that both the club and the player had come to a mutual agreement as they prepared for the 2025/26 season.
There were no fireworks or drama—just a clean and respectful break.
What’s Happening Elsewhere in the Camp?
While Potsane departs, other parts of the squad are getting attention too.
Chiefs recently wrapped up a pre-season game in Durban against Asante Kotoko, which ended in a goalless draw before being decided by penalties (which Chiefs lost 3-2).
Still, the real takeaway from the match wasn’t the result—it was how the team’s chemistry and conditioning are shaping up.
Itumeleng Khune Weighs In on New Faces
Veteran keeper Itumeleng Khune has had a close-up view of the team’s new additions—and he’s been sharing his thoughts.
Among the fresh faces are Ethan Chislett, Flavio Silva, Nkanyiso Shinga, and Thabiso Monyane.
Khune seemed particularly impressed by players arriving with a “winning mentality,” calling out Monyane and Paseka Mako—both of whom bring experience from Orlando Pirates.
A Season Full of Hope and Questions
With Potsane out and several new talents in, the big question now is: Can Kaizer Chiefs turn this fresh start into silverware? The club and fans alike are eager to shake off recent disappointments and return to winning ways.
Whether or not they succeed will depend heavily on how quickly the squad gels—and how much impact the newcomers can make.
