Kaizer Chiefs find themselves amidst a whirlwind of transfer activity on deadline day. While their pursuit of Oswin Appollis from Polokwane City has been persistent, the club is also welcoming new signings like Sibusiso Cele and Cole Alexander. Sadly, young star Wandile Duba faces a month-long recovery from a knee injury, meaning he'll miss the upcoming Soweto Derby.
Kaizer Chiefs have been persistently linked with Oswin Appollis for months, but it's possible this pursuit was a distraction tactic. As the transfer deadline looms, Polokwane City are refusing to budge on their star winger. The club chairman, Johnny Mogaladi, reportedly prefers to sell Appollis to international clubs if a deal were to materialize. Recent injuries to key players Tlou Nkwe and Thabang Matuludi have further solidified Mogaladi's determination to retain Appollis.
Polokwane City currently holds the third position in the Betway Premier League, aiming for an improbable continental qualification spot. Meanwhile, another transfer target, Sibusiso Cele, joins Kaizer Chiefs after a lengthy injury hiatus. Cele's last competitive match was in November, leaving him severely lacking match fitness. He is anticipated to require a few weeks to regain his sharpness and adapt to the intensity of South African football. Fellow new signing, Cole Alexander, is facing a one-match suspension due to a red card he received in his previous SuperSport United match. This suspension will keep him out of the Soweto Derby. Glody Lilepo emerges as the most likely candidate to start in the Soweto Derby, contingent upon his work permit approval.Unfortunately, 20-year-old Wandile Duba will be sidelined for an extended period, over a month, due to a knee injury sustained during their match against Free Agents. Consequently, he will miss the Soweto Derby. A source revealed, “He (Duba) went for scanning yesterday and that’s when they (Chiefs doctors) were sure that he would be out for about a month and a half. He will actually be out for 42 days. It’s a knee injury. He twisted it and got injured. Very bad, my brother, but 42 days is not that bad though.”While these transfer developments dominate the headlines, there's also positive news from the tourism sector. The influx of tourists from countries like the UK, US, Germany, and SADC nations has been welcomed as a boon for the economy
