Kaizer Chiefs product finds new home after lifting trophy with Amakhosi as Orlando Pirates' award-winning striker replaces clubless Kermit Erasmus

Promising midfielder Sihle Tati departed Kaizer Chiefs following the conclusion of the 2024/25 Diski Challenge season, with reports linking him to TS Galaxy.

Tati played a pivotal role in helping Amakhosi secure a historic DDC title, their first in the league’s 10-year history. 

However, despite links to the Rockets, he now begins a new chapter in the National First Division with Lerumo Lions.

Tati isn’t the only young talent on the move; Orlando Pirates have sent their DDC Golden Boot winner, Siphamandla Msezane, out on loan to Casric Stars. 

While the two young stars take their chance to develop in the NFD, Casric Stars have parted ways with former Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, Cape Town City, and international striker Kermit Erasmus.   

Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Yagan Sasman also features among the club’s list of departures.

Tati will be looking to make the most of his NFD opportunity, showing off his skills and catching the eye of bigger clubs. 

Meanwhile, Msezane will be out to impress on loan, hoping to make a strong case to return to the Buccaneers set-up and possibly break into the first team.
