Kaizer Chiefs Sign Former Orlando Pirates Duo Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako

Kaizer Chiefs have made a bold statement ahead of the new season by securing the services of two former Orlando Pirates defenders, Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako.

The club confirmed the double signing on their official website, expressing excitement at the new arrivals who are expected to bring both experience and depth to the squad. The move comes just days after Chiefs unveiled three other players, highlighting a major squad overhaul at Naturena.

Mako and Monyane are no strangers to the South African football scene. The former Buccaneers played key roles at Pirates over the past few seasons, winning domestic titles and featuring in the CAF Champions League. Their experience at the highest level of African football is seen as a major asset to the Amakhosi’s ambitions.

Paseka Mako, originally from Zebediela in Limpopo, is known for his energetic runs down the left flank and his ability to support both defence and attack as a wingback. Thabiso Monyane, who will likely take up duties on the opposite flank, has been praised for his strength, pace, and defensive awareness.

The Chiefs’ technical team believes the pair will bolster their defensive setup with much-needed versatility and resilience. With both players capable of adapting to various systems, their arrival provides options for the coaching staff ahead of the new campaign.

The timing of the signings also aligns with the team’s departure for a pre-season training camp in the Netherlands. The trip will give Mako and Monyane a chance to gel with their new teammates and adapt to the club’s playing philosophy.

These additions underline Kaizer Chiefs’ intent to rebuild and compete seriously on all fronts, including the domestic league and cup competitions. Fans will be eager to see how the new-look squad shapes up as the season approaches.
