Today’s Kaizer Chiefs rumour roundup looks at the futures of Fiacre Ntwari, Mduduzi Mdantsane and Mfundo Vilakazi.
Ntwari excels for Rwanda despite being out in the cold for Kaizer Chiefs
Despite his struggles at club level, Ntwari has been a regular for his country during World Cup qualifiers. Ironically, Ntwari’s Rwanda are in Group C of qualifiers alongside South Africa. They’re sitting relatively pretty with eight points after six outings. It’s not out of the question that both nations could qualify for the 2026 showpiece staged in Mexico, Canada and the United States. 25-year-old Ntwari, who stands at 1.94m tall, has 12 caps for his nation and will look to build on that as we approach a World Cup year.
Gallants up next for the Glamour Boys
Gaston Sirino and Pule Mmodi will play no part for Kaizer Chiefs when they host Marumo Gallants on Saturday, 26 April at 15:00. The pair are suspended after an accumulation of bookings.
Mayele stands in the way of Orlando Pirates
Pirates have kept clean sheets in seven of their last eight matches across all competitions. The only stain on that record was the Sundowns game, which they won 2-1 anyway. If anybody can breach this staunch defensive unit, however, it’s Kaizer Chiefs target Fiston Mayele. The Pyramids FC man has an exemplary record in the Champions League, with six goals in 10 outings this term. Overall, he’s scored 19 times in 34 appearances in Africa’s premier club competition. Pyramids vs Pirates in the semi-final second leg kicks off on Friday, 25 April at 20:00. It’s delicately poised after a 0-0 draw in the first encounter.
Mdantsane will leave Kaizer Chiefs
At his peak value, transfermarkt estimates that Mduduzi Mdantsane was at his most desirable in the market in February 2023. They gauged him to be worth 1.2m (R22.8 million). Now, over two years later, they figure he’s worth half that (R11.4 million). Injuries have ravaged his time at Naturena, including an unfortunate one sustained in a car accident. However, when fit, his form hasn’t been to the standard expected by Chiefs. The former Cape Town City star only managed 16 appearances, with two assists and zero goals. This led to a loan spell with Richards Bay in 2024-2025.
Will you be sad to see Mdantsane go?
