Kaizer Chiefs Sign Xhosa Manyana on Loan to Bolster Reserves

The 20-year-old midfielder strengthens the DStv Diski Challenge group with an eye on earning senior minutes.

Overview

  • Chiefs confirmed the Cape Town City prospect will join their DDC side on loan, with club channels stating the deal runs until the end of the 2026 season, though one report called it a six-month stint.
  • Sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr said the addition was made to augment the reserve squad for the latter part of the campaign.
  • Manyana, 20, is a defensive midfielder developed by Cape Town City who spent last season on loan at FC Cincinnati 2 in MLS Next Pro.
  • He is expected to feature in the DStv Diski Challenge and could push for a senior-team place if he impresses.
  • Recent internal movement, including reserve captain Thulani Mabaso’s promotion to the first team, opened space for this reinforcement.
