In today’s Kaizer Chiefs transfer news, there’s a mixed bag of developments involving Mduduzi Shabalala, George Matlou, and Gaston Sirino.
Shabalala Under the Microscope
Mduduzi Shabalala is feeling the heat from some Chiefs fans who are starting to question his form and decision-making. Once a key player at the start of the 2024-25 season, Shabalala has seen his influence fade. Despite playing 27 league games, his stats—just four goals and one assist—don’t match expectations for a player in the pivotal number 10 position.
Matlou’s Surprise Inclusion
On a brighter note, George Matlou, who had previously been more on the fringes, has earned a spot to travel with the squad on their pre-season tour to the Netherlands. This opportunity could be a turning point for the midfielder, signaling that the coaching staff still sees potential in him.
Sirino’s Tax Issues
Meanwhile, veteran Uruguayan midfielder Gaston Sirino is embroiled in controversy. Reports from Sunday World reveal that Sirino owes the South African Revenue Service (SARS) a significant sum—R6 million in unpaid taxes—and has so far ignored payment demands. This situation has created a stir off the pitch for the 34-year-old Chiefs playmaker.
