On the side of incomings, Chiefs have already confirmed the signing of SuperSport United centre back Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, while also being thought to have signed Mduduzi Mdantsane and Given Msimango. In the last two weeks or so, they have also been thought to have added the likes of Venezuelan international midfielder Edson Castillo, who is believed to be ready to join the club and boost their midfield ranks at the end of this month, when his contract with his current team expires.

Now on Wednesday it was also reported that Chiefs had beaten their arch-rivals Orlando Pirates to the signatures of Golden Arrows winger Pule Mmodi and Marumo Gallants striker Ranga Chivaviro. Furthermore, both players made some very big decisions to ensure that they ended up at Naturena rather than Mayfair with Mmodi firing his agent who was pushing him to Pirates, while Chivaviro stood up for himself against Gallants chairman Abram Sello, who had originally sold him to the Buccaneers.

Now in what could come as a shock to many, it is believed that Chiefs are ready to part ways with veteran left back Sifiso Hlanti. Hlanti was all set to sign a new deal at Amakhosi on reduced wages, but that process seems to have stalled to such an extent that there is a fear within his camp that the deal might not happen after all. 

Hlanti new deal at Chiefs might not happen

Now according to Unplayable, there is no longer any guarantee that Chiefs will sign off on that deal to keep Hlanti on reduced wages, despite seeming optimistic about the idea earlier. The former Bafana Bafana star was one of the most consistent players for the Glamour Boys last season, cementing the left back position. Should he leave, the likes of Edmilson Dove, Happy Mashiane, Reeve Frosler, Ditlhokwe as well as Dillon Solomon can all play that role.
