The race is heating up between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates for Zimbabwean winger Daniel Msendami, a player quickly being labeled as the next Khama Billiat due to his electrifying form in the Premier Soccer League.
At just 24, Msendami has taken South African football by storm after impressing at Botswana’s Jwaneng Galaxy. His former coach, Morena Ramoreboli, wasn’t shy about his belief in the player’s potential, calling him a perfect fit for any PSL team.
Although a move to Cape Town Spurs fell through, Marumo Gallants pounced on the opportunity and signed him on a free. It’s turning out to be a smart bit of business, as Msendami has delivered solid performances across 31 matches, scoring three goals and assisting three more, while showcasing versatility across both wings and at wing-back.
His form has not gone unnoticed. Chiefs and Pirates are both said to have shown interest, especially after his recent standout showing against Amakhosi—where he not only scored but also picked up the Man of the Match award.
Msendami first made headlines when he helped Jwaneng Galaxy eliminate Pirates from the CAF Champions League qualifiers. That performance hinted at what was to come, and since moving to Gallants—despite interest from SuperSport United—his stock has continued to rise.
But it’s not just local giants keeping tabs. European clubs have reportedly entered the conversation ahead of the upcoming transfer window, meaning Gallants could be in for another profitable sale. The club has become known for turning untapped talent into valuable assets—and Msendami might just be their next big cash-out.
With the season winding down and interest growing, Daniel Msendami is firmly on the radar—and the Soweto giants might have a real fight on their hands if they want to secure his services.
