    Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Kanga Nzenza says he once advised Amakhosi to sign Congolese top striker Fiston Mayele, but his plea was left unheard. Mayele is one of the hottest strikers on the African continent, having helped Pyramids win the CAF Champions League this past weekend. The 30-year-old finished the competition as the top goalscorer, having scored in the semi-final and final. Since last year, Kaizer Chiefs have been linked to Mayele, but no formal bid has been made by the Soweto giants.

    Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Fees Moloi says Ranga Chivaviro did not meet expectations at Amakhosi but feels he could have done more for the club. The 32-year-old big forward was released by the club on Wednesday after just two seasons. Ranga scored just nine goals in 45 matches during his time at Naturena. Speaking to KickOff, Moloi said that Chivaviro did not play to his full potential, hence Kaizer Chiefs decided not to renew his contract.

    Earlier this year, Jose Riveiro dropped a bombshell when he announced that he would not extend his stay when his contract at Orlando Pirates expired. At the time he made the announcement, the Buccaneers were well poised to win at least two trophies, but poor form saw the team finish with just the MTN8, which they won at the beginning of the season. After losing the Nedbank Cup final on 10 May, Jose Riveiro asked the Pirates management to release him early as he had already signed with a new club.
