Latest News: Asanele Velebayi to Kaizer Chiefs?

This story has been ubiquitous. Kaizer Chiefs have been linked with Asanele Velebayi from Cape Town Spurs all winter. The latest updates say Amakhosi are still keen ahead of Friday night’s transfer deadline.

KAIZER CHIEFS TO SIGN ASANELE VELEBAYI?

Following two rejected bids to sign the 22-year-old winger over the past month, SABC Sports’ Mazola Molefe has said that the two clubs are still in talks ahead of deadline day on Friday night at 23:59.

“Cape Town Spurs and Chiefs remain in talks over Asanele Velebayi,” Molefe said in a short report.

GEORGE MALULEKA LOOKING FINDS NEW TEAM

Remember George Maluleka‘s football at SuperSport United, Ajax Cape Town, Kaizer Chiefs, and briefly at Mamelodi Sundowns? The Tembisa-born midfielder is still active.

Following his exit from AmaZulu in June, the 35-year-old is joining Mpumalanga’s Kruger United in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.

“Former AmaZulu midfielder George Maluleka is set to join Kruger United,” iDiski Times reported.

“Maluleka, 35, has been without a club since the expiry of his contract with Usuthu and has now agreed terms with the newly promoted Motsepe Foundation Championship side.

“He’s set to sign a one-year deal with an option to extend, as he looks to add valuable experience to the squad that’s currently in ninth place after their first three games,” the report added.

ITUMELENG KHUNE JOINS SABC SPORT

Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune has secured a new job while his future with Amakhosi remains uncertain.

SABC Sport have confirmed that the Amakhosi legend has joined the public broadcaster as an analyst.

“We will also be enhancing our coverage by strengthening the analysis team. This move will ensure that we provide insightful commentary and in-depth analysis for our viewers,” SABC Group CEO Nomsa Chabeli said, as quoted by the Hollywoodbets.
