Amakhosi will kick off their next few games with two crucial fixtures scheduled just three days apart.
After these matches, they’ll experience a long wait before their next action.
They will have another significant gap of 10 days before their clashes with Magesi and Royal AM.

Fixture Gaps: A Common Frustration
Scheduling gaps are a perennial issue in South Africa’s top-flight football, and the Betway Premiership is no exception.
This problem isn’t unique to the local league, as it’s a challenge faced globally, especially with World Cup and continental cup qualifiers.
For Chiefs fans, the timing of these gaps could be a concern, particularly if the team continues their strong performance.
Transfer Window Closing Soon
With the transfer window set to close soon, Chiefs will need to finalize any deals before September 20.
The club is actively seeking to bolster their attacking options.
Chiefs’ Striker Search
Kaizer Chiefs have been on the lookout for a reliable goal-scorer for some time.
Their search has extended beyond South Africa, considering various options.
Recent rumors link them to Kenyan forward Michael Olunga, prolific Congolese striker Fiston Mayele, and Botswana’s Tumisang Orebonye.
Domestically, they’ve been eyeing Cape Town Spurs’ Asanele Velebayi and Golden Arrows’ Lungelo Nguse.
However, the buzz this week centers around Chiefs’ Sporting Director, Mr. Motaung Jnr, publicly expressing interest in Oswin Appollis, who recently scored twice for Bafana in their 3-2 win over South Sudan.
What’s Next?
As Chiefs prepare for their next game against AmaZulu, all eyes will be on how they navigate these upcoming challenges and any potential new signings that could influence their season.
Stay tuned for updates on how the team adapts and what new talent might join their ranks.
