Kaizer Chiefs have a promising season ahead with several youngsters poised to make significant impacts under new head coach Nasreddine Nabi. One of the standout talents is 22-year-old midfielder Samkelo Zwane.
After a challenging season last year, Zwane is determined to become a regular fixture in the Amakhosi midfield. His commitment to improving his fitness is evident, as he has been putting in extensive hours in the gym.
Zwane’s ambition for the 2024-2025 season is clear: he aims to elevate his game and contribute significantly to the team’s success. His stylish play and vision on the field could be vital for Kaizer Chiefs as they navigate the upcoming season.
Another young player set to seize opportunities is 21-year-old goalkeeper Bontle Molefe. Molefe has been on the fringes of the first team for a while, but a wrist injury and subsequent surgery derailed much of his 2023 season. Now fully recovered, Molefe is ready to step up and showcase his talents. With new goalkeeping coach Ilyes Mzoughi taking charge, Molefe is expected to get more first-team opportunities. His potential to become a key player for the Glamour Boys is high, especially given the pressing need for a reliable goalkeeper following the uncertainty surrounding veteran Itumeleng Khune’s future.

Molefe and Zwane are not the only youngsters who could shine this season. With Nabi at the helm, there is a renewed focus on integrating young talent into the first team. This approach aligns with Kaizer Chiefs’ long-term strategy of developing homegrown players and ensuring a steady influx of fresh talent. Players like Nkosana Mbuthu, Donay Jansen, and Mfundo Vilakazi, who have already been promoted to the first team for the preseason camp in Turkey, are also in line for more significant roles.
In summary, the upcoming season promises to be an exciting one for Kaizer Chiefs, with young players like Samkelo Zwane and Bontle Molefe ready to make their mark. Their development and contributions will be crucial as the team strives for success under Nasreddine Nabi’s guidance.
