Local reports suggest that 25-year-old defender Mhleli Mabuza is top of Chiefs’ shopping list. The right-back has been with Portuguese side O Elvas after leaving third-tier outfit Amora SC. His short-term deal expires in June.

This comes hot off the heels of rumours linking the club with Sekhukhune’s Bright Ndlovu, who moved to Babina Noko in 2024. Thabo Moloisane is a long-standing target after a string of impressive displays for Stellenbosch FC, where he’s an indispensable first-team regular. Siwelele midfielder Grant Margeman, formerly of Sundowns, is also a rumoured target.
