Kaizer Chiefs are preparing for a major attacking overhaul ahead of the new season, and veteran striker Ranga Chivaviro looks set to be one of the players sacrificed in the club’s fresh direction.
According to insider information, several players are expected to be shown the door to make space for new arrivals. Chiefs are planning to inject new attacking options into the squad—signaling a shift away from underperforming players.
Chivaviro’s Chiefs Journey Nears Its End
Chivaviro, who joined Amakhosi with much anticipation, has failed to live up to expectations. With just five goals in 22 appearances this season, his contribution hasn’t met the club’s needs. Now, sources suggest he’s on his way out once his contract runs out in June.
“There’s already a list of players set to leave at season’s end, and Ranga is believed to be among them,” said a source close to the matter. “At one point, the club considered extending his deal, but that no longer seems to be the plan. His time at Naturena appears to be over.”
Chiefs Eye Youth and Fresh Talent
Chiefs aren’t only looking to bring in experienced players—they’re also ready to promote youngsters from their DStv Diski Challenge squad. This blended strategy points to a bold new era, combining seasoned quality with the hunger of youth development.
“They’re still targeting at least one senior striker,” the source explained. “But they’ve also recommended that some of the Diski Challenge players be promoted. That’s another reason why Ranga is likely to leave.”
Changing Times at Naturena
The likely departure of Chivaviro reflects a broader shift in Kaizer Chiefs’ approach. The club is clearly investing in the future—with a mix of smart signings and young talent expected to lead the charge in the coming season.
As the transfer window nears, fans will be watching closely to see who will be brought in—and which other players may follow Chivaviro out of the club.
