Kaizer Chiefs defender Zitha Kwinika is facing the exit gate at Amakhosi.
KAIZER CHIEFS TO PART WAYS WITH ZITHA KWINIKA?
The 31-year-old defender made a headline move to Amakhosi from Stellenbosch FC in June 2022. It was a return to his development team for the Soweto-born player. Despite decent game time under previous Kaizer Chiefs coaches Arthur
Zwane, Molefe Ntseki and Cavin Johnson, Kwinika has not started a single competitive match under Nasreddine Nabi. According to Soccer Laduma, Kwinika is keen on a loan move until his contract with Kaizer Chiefs expires in June.
“Sources close to the player suggest that a loan move is the most likely option, allowing him to secure regular playing time elsewhere,” the outlet reported. “There is reported interest in Kwinika from clubs in Polokwane and KwaZulu-Natal, though the specifics of these potential moves remain unclear.”
UPDATE: AMAZULU FC
In the meantime, Durban giants AmaZulu are keen on the former Stellenbosch captain. According to Soccer Laduma, coach Arthur Zwane wants to reunite with Kwinika.
