Blow for Kaizer Chiefs & Orlando Pirates as transfer target and five others extend contracts with his Premier Soccer League club

The 2024/25 season recently concluded with both Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates winning a trophy, each.

Amakhosi claimed the Nedbank Cup while Bucs defended their MTN8.

While the Sea Robbers will play in the Caf Champions League, the Glamour Boys are set to compete in the Caf Confederation Cup.

One of the players who has been linked with a move to the two Soweto giants is Richards Bay attacker Yanela Mbuthuma.

The striker played 27 games across all competitions for the Natal Rich Boys, scored six goals, and provided two assists.

Five of the goals came in the Premier Soccer League, where he played 24 games and provided two assists in the process.

However, Richards Bay have acted by tying him to a new deal as confirmed.

Mbuthuma, and five other players, have signed a five-year deal.

Mbuthuma is in the Bafana Bafana preliminary squad for the international friendly matches.

South Africa will play Tanzania on June 6 and Mozambique four days later. If he gets his chance, Mbuthuma must prove his quality.
