OFFICIAL: Chiefs confirms loan moves for rising stars
Aug 18, 2026 – 10:46 am
By KO Staff Reporter
Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the loan moves of three players from the club’s DStv Diski Challenge team for the 2026/27 season in a bid to secure competitive minutes under their belt.
The Naturena-based giants have finalised deals to send 19-year-old right-back Sfiso Timba and highly-rated defender Siyabonga Gumede to Motsepe Foundation Championship side Gomora United on season-long loans.
Joining them in second-tier competitive football is 20-year-old forward Vicky Mkhawana, who has officially completed a loan switch to the newly rebranded Real Natives alongside winger Ofentse Kgosana to gain vital first-team exposure.
19-year-old reserve league gem Kabelo Nkgwesa remains formally registered with the first-team setup as a defensive left-back option and has even made his competitive debut. He will, however, have to wait a bit longer for more minutes after sustaining an injury.
Meanwhile, Chiefs are finalising the loan moves of fellow DDC products Naledi Hlongwane, Samkelo Zwane and Bontle Molefe to Hope FC.
