Everyone makes mistakes but Kaizer Chiefs are starting to make a habit of repeating them in the transfer market.
Kaizer Chiefs’ loss is Galaxy’s gain
Two former Kaizer Chiefs young talents are thriving at TS Galaxy. The Rockets are on a 12-match unbeaten streak and shocked Sundowns with a 1-0 win last time out. They’re arguably the most-improved side of the past few months in South Africa. Two ex-Chiefs products are contributing richly to this success. 20-year-old central defender, the stylish left-footer Khulumani Ndamane, has started 15 games across all competitions this term. His mature, complete performances have drawn effusive praise from new Rockets boss Adnan Beganovic.
“What I can say about him, is he is almost 20 years [of age]. Imagine he plays all games like he’s 35 with the same confidence, no mistakes,” Beganovic told FARPost.
“In the air, on the ground, he’s an amazing player. I’m sure after a while, every team in the PSL will want to buy him because he has amazing skills. He’s also fast. He knows how to play long passes. He’s calm when we try to build up,” added Beganovic.
Puso Dithejane and Unathi Mdaka were released owing to misconduct over ball-boy duties in October 2023. Now 20, Dithejane has thrived in the number 10 role for TS Galaxy but can also operate in several roles on their right flank. He was integral to their sixth-place finish last term and this season he’s made 15 league appearances, notching up a goal and an assist. He could still have been rotting in the Chiefs reserves now and instead, he’s thriving as a regular PSL player. How Amakhosi must regret their decision to let him walk away from Naturena.
Do you think Ndamane and Ditjehane would get into this current Chiefs side?
