Mamelodi Sundowns' cup opponents sign two players from Kaizer Chiefs after snapping up Orlando Pirates goalkeeper

The Premier Soccer League clubs and other outfits plying trade in the South African football have a chance to strengthen their playing unit.

Already, some big names have switched their allegiance in the last couple of days, with the likes of Mamelodi Sundowns, Sekhukhune United, and Orlando Pirates making statement signings.

However, some, like Kaizer Chiefs, believe they have enough firepower to sustain their challenge in the Premier Soccer League, Nedbank Cup, as well as the CAF Confederation Cup.

Gomora United will be playing against Mamelodi Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup's Round of 32. 

Knowing the massive assignment awaiting them, the lower-tier outfit has made a couple of signings to help strengthen their squad to stand a chance of making the next phase.

They have signed Bafana Bafana defender, 21-year-old Siyabonga Gumede, to help in the rear guard.

Another player who has joined the ABC Motsepe Foundation Championship outfit is Sifiso Timba. The right-back was part of the Amajita team that won the U20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) last year in Egypt.

In July 2025, Gomora made a bold move to sign veteran goalkeeper 'young' Rooi Mahamutsa, who helped them get promoted to the second-tier.

"You talk about Mahamutsa, the man didn't deserve to play in the ABC Motsepe League in the first place because he's still a quality player," club's chairman Joe Seanego told the media.

"So, it was more like he was giving back to the community. At 43, the man is still going very strong, and to me, he's very young. 

He's living a healthy lifestyle, and he's taking good care of himself, so he will continue to be part of the team in the NFD. He's still going very strong," he concluded.

This is how the teams will play in the Nedbank Cup's Round of 32.
