The rumor mill around Naturena suggests that Kaizer Chiefs have quietly secured their first piece of defensive reinforcement for the upcoming campaign. Thabo Moloisane, who recently parted ways with Stellenbosch FC, is said to have already inked a deal with the Glamour Boys.
The 26-year-old defender officially walked away from the Cape Winelands outfit last week. While no announcement has been made, multiple sources close to the situation indicate that terms have been agreed upon with the Soweto giants.
Moloisane isn’t just any addition to the backline. Having racked up nearly 120 appearances for Stellies, he built a reputation as a sturdy, no-nonsense defender. His presence is expected to inject a blend of authority, composure, and defensive savvy into the Amakhosi rear guard just in time for the new season.
Interestingly, Chiefs have a habit of picking up talent from Stellenbosch. In July 2022, they brought in defender Zitha Kwinika and forward Ashley du Preez. Then, in September 2023, midfielder Sibongiseni Mthethwa followed the same route. Moloisane now seems poised to become the latest in that growing pipeline.
But the club might not stop there. With the free agent market still open, more signings could be on the horizon over the coming weeks.
One intriguing name floating around is former Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa. The experienced hitman has just wrapped up a loan spell at Stellenbosch and is currently without a club. In the past, his name has been whispered in connection with Chiefs.
Then there’s Percy Tau, a player familiar to fans of Al Ahly and Mamelodi Sundowns. The Bafana Bafana star recently returned from an unexpected stint in Vietnam, and there’s growing speculation that he might be eyeing one final chapter in the PSL before hanging up his boots.
Also worth watching is Kabelo Dlamini. The gifted midfielder has found minutes hard to come by under Abdeslam Ouaddou this season, and with his future at Orlando Pirates looking uncertain, he could soon find himself on the free agent list as well.
