Kaizer Chiefs fans are growing increasingly impatient as the club continues to fall behind in the transfer market. With several targets slipping away and rivals strengthening, supporters are calling for bold action.
This week, Kaizer Chiefs were snubbed again — this time by Oswin Appollis, who joined Orlando Pirates despite long-standing interest from Naturena. The winger was viewed as a key piece in Chiefs’ rebuild, but the club’s inability to close the deal has once again left fans frustrated.
Flavio Silva alone may not be enough
Flavio Silva remains Kaizer Chiefs’ only confirmed attacking arrival. While the Portuguese striker has talent, he arrives with little fanfare and few guarantees. With the squad still thin in attack, supporters are demanding more signings before the window closes.
Michael Olunga and Fiston Mayele were both linked with the club, but those pursuits appear to have fizzled out due to high price tags. Internal sources claim the technical team is exploring other options, but progress has been slow.
Jessica Motaung offered a statement to ease concerns: “We are working tirelessly to finalise the right players. These decisions are not easy, but we want to do what’s best for Kaizer Chiefs long-term.”
While that may offer some reassurance, time is running out. The Toyota Cup is fast approaching, and Kaizer Chiefs have yet to announce any marquee names. With Pirates already making big moves, fans fear the team may once again fall short of expectations.
The club’s vision of returning to domestic and continental dominance remains intact, but execution has been lacking. The next few weeks could define Kaizer Chiefs’ season — for better or worse.
