Expectations have always been high at Kaizer Chiefs and the managers are aware of that. Amakhossi are reportedly pursuing two Bafana Bafana stars.
Will Bafana Bafana star join Kaizer Chiefs?
As most saw it, Amakhosi's first half of the 2023/24 season was lackluster. This failure led to the resignation of coach Molefi Ntseki.
Additionally, Bafana Bafana inspired the nation at Afcon 2023. The tournament, which featured no Chiefs players in the South African squad, sparked two transfer ambitions for Amakhosi.
according to iDiskiTimesChiefs are keen to sign Polokwane City winger Oswin Apolis, 22. The second target is midfielder Sfefero Sithole, but it will be difficult to sign him from Portugal's Tondela.
“Following his impressive performance at the recent AFCON in Ivory Coast, Chiefs will follow the progress of Bafana Bafana midfield powerhouse Sfephelo ‘Yaya’ Sihor, who played in every game for the South African national team in the tournament. It seems that interest in the matter has returned again,'' the same media reported.

“Another Bafana Bafana player in this AFCON team, who has been rumored to be linked with Chiefs, is Polokwane City attacker Oswin Apolis, who played against Morooka in last weekend's Rise and Shine clash. He also contributed to the 1-0 win against Swallows,'' the magazine said. Added report.

“Yes, we missed a huge chance. I think we missed four one-on-ones, Ashley. [Du Preez] If there were four one-on-ones, he should have scored. I didn't understand. But did you play well today? No, I don't think so. I'm not satisfied with my performance as a team, but I think we're much better than the team we showed today.
“Yes, their goalkeeper won man of the match, that says a lot, but as a tactician, you sit on the bench, you watch the team play, you watch the team play in training sessions. As a guy looking at what they've been through and how they can play and how they can be more confident on the ball, we didn't see that as much.
“We didn't see it enough and we certainly missed chances, but we really, really should have won the game,” the Chiefs tactician concluded.
