Kaizer Chiefs’ well-publicised target, Oswin Appollis, will play against Amakhosi in the Betway Premiership and the Soweto derby next season.
The 23-year-old winger from Bishop Lavis, Cape Town, signed for Amakhosi’s fierce rivals, Orlando Pirates, from Polokwane City.
What are the current options for coach Nasreddine Nabi in the right and left wing positions at Kaizer Chiefs?

Speaking to 947’s Robert Marawa in recent months, the club’s sporting director, Kaizer Motaung Jr., was asked if Kaizer Chiefs had any interest in the talented winger.

“Oswin is a top talent, what we can say about him… I mean, I don’t know any club in the country who would not want to sign Oswin,” Motaung said.
“What we are trying to do is the best that we can. It is to fulfil not only what the supporters want, but we know we need to get the best talent in order to achieve our goals. So we want to bring top players.
“So what I can say is, he is a top player. We are working tirelessly so we can bring top players to the team. We would love to have him,” the Kaizer Chiefs leader continued.
“We have said it before. We would love to have him. We had talks with the chairman of Polokwane City, not just only about Oswin… other players also.
“It is a process that is ongoing,” Motaung concluded.
Unfortunately for Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates won the race.
A LEFT AND RIGHT WING CRISES?
With the Appollis dream dead in the water, who is expected to deliver creativity on the sides? Glody Lilepo, Pule Mmodi and who else?
Full list of options:
- Pule Mmodi
- Glody Lilepo
- Mfundo Vilakazi
- Tebogo Potsane
Gaston Sirino and Mduduzi Shabalala are attacking midfielders by tradition. While Ashley Du Preez and Wandile Duba arestrikers, but each of the four filled in on the flank last season.
In the meantime, Amakhosi are heavily linked with Cape Town Spurs’ 22-year-old winger Asanele Velebayi.
