Zitha Kwinika’s Future at Kaizer Chiefs in Question
There’s growing speculation around Zitha Kwinika’s future at Kaizer Chiefs, with AmaZulu reportedly showing interest in the defender.
According to sources, the 29-year-old centre-back could soon be on his way to the KZN-based club as AmaZulu looks to strengthen their defense for the remainder of the season.
Kwinika’s Struggles at Chiefs
It’s been a tough season for Kwinika at Chiefs.
Since the arrival of coach Nasreddine Nabi, the defender has had limited playing time, with no appearances in official matches so far.
Most of his time has been spent on the bench, leading to rumors that he might be on his way out when the transfer window opens.
His lack of game time has certainly raised questions about his long-term place in the squad.
A Return to Chiefs After a Successful Stint at Stellenbosch
Kwinika’s journey with Chiefs has been a bit of a rollercoaster.
After impressing at Stellenbosch FC, he rejoined Chiefs in 2022, following a stint with other clubs like Chippa United and Bidvest Wits.
His return was seen as a promising move, with fans hoping his experience and versatility would help strengthen the team.
However, with minimal game time this season, his future at the club is now uncertain.
Arthur Zwane’s Interest in Reuniting with Kwinika
Arthur Zwane, who was Kwinika’s coach at Chiefs, is reportedly keen on reuniting with the defender at AmaZulu.
Now co-coaching AmaZulu alongside Vusumuzi Vilakazi, Zwane is hoping to improve his team’s performance after a difficult start to the season. Kwinika, who is familiar with Zwane’s coaching style, could be just the player AmaZulu needs to boost their defense and help push the team up the league standings.
A source close to the situation shared, “Arthur Zwane knows Kwinika well, rates him highly, and sees him playing a key role at AmaZulu.
His name has been mentioned in the discussions, and it’s clear Zwane values what he can bring to the squad.”
Could This Be the Move Kwinika Needs?
Given AmaZulu’s struggles at the back this season, Kwinika could be a perfect fit for the club.
With his experience and understanding of Zwane’s methods, a move to AmaZulu might provide him with more opportunities to play regularly.
A formal approach from AmaZulu is expected soon, and it could mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Kwinika’s career.
With the January transfer window fast approaching, it’s likely that both Chiefs and AmaZulu will be busy working out the details.
Will Kwinika seize the chance for more playing time and help AmaZulu improve their season? We’ll have to wait and see.
