Kaizer Chiefs have had some mixed fortunes in the transfer market lately. They dropped the ball big time on a 2023 signing.
Mdantsane moves to Richards Bay after failed Kaizer Chiefs move
30-year-old playmaker Mduduzi Mdantsane is leaving Kaizer Chiefs on loan for the remainder of the campaign. The former Cape Town City star only managed 16 appearances, two assists and zero goals for the Glamour Boyus since joining in July 2023. Official communication from the club’s website:
“Kaizer Chiefs have agreed to a loan deal that sees midfielder Mduduzi Mdantsane join KwaZulu-Natal side, Richards Bay, for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.”
What’s happened with Mdantsane at Chiefs?
At his peak value, transfermarkt estimates that Mduduzi Mdantsane was at his most desirable in the market in February 2023 when they gauged him to be worth 1.2m (R22.8 million). Now, exactly two years later, they figure he’s worth half that (R11.4 million). Injuries have ravaged his time at Naturena, including a terribly unfortunate one sustained in a car accident, but when fit his form hasn’t been to the standard expected by Chiefs. He cost something in the region of R13 million. Whether they can recoup any of that money after his loan spell with Richards Bay is unclear. A clearly talented player, he’s flattered to deceive.
What’s next for the Glamour Boys?
Chiefs’ reward for a 4-0 drubbing of Free Agents FC is a Round of 16 clash at home against Chippa on Saturday 15 Feb at 18:00 in the Nedbank Cup. Next up in the Betway Premiership for the Glamour Boys is a meeting with former mentor Gavin Hunt and his SuperSport charges on Tuesday 18 Feb at 19:30.
Will Chiefs get the better of Chippa to book a place in the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals?
