    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Chiefs continue facing problems in goal with Bruce Bvuma, Fiacre Ntwari and Brandon Petersen not regarded as reliable goalkeepers.

    Ntwari reportedly wants out of the Soweto giants and a Ligue 2 club is keen to sign him.

    If he leaves Amakhosi, that creates some space for Chiefs to sign Nwabali.
