Kaizer Chiefs’ squad overhaul is gaining momentum with the imminent departure of Rwandan goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari, who is set to become the club’s sixth official exit in the ongoing transfer window. The move comes as part of a broader strategy to reshape the squad ahead of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season.
According to KickOff, Chiefs’ management is currently weighing options for Ntwari’s future, with a loan move being the most likely outcome. The 24-year-old has struggled to secure a regular starting role at Naturena since his arrival, falling behind Bruce Bvuma in the goalkeeping pecking order. With head coach Nasreddine Nabi not including Ntwari in his long-term plans, the club is prepared to let him leave to create space for new international recruits. Ntwari’s exit will open up a crucial foreign-player slot, a key consideration for the club as they look to bring in top-level international talent. The move also strengthens speculation around Chiefs’ interest in Nigerian international goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, who has been heavily linked with a switch to Naturena in recent weeks.
This would mark the sixth departure in the Chiefs’ rebuilding process. The club has already parted ways with Ranga Chivaviro, Njabulo Blom, Sabelo Radebe, Edmilson Dove, and Mduduzi Mdantsane. More exits are expected, with players such as Edson Castillo, George Matlou, Tebogo Potsane, and Bongani Sam also reportedly facing uncertain futures. As Amakhosi gear up for their pre-season camp in the Netherlands, the management is focused on creating a leaner, more competitive squad. The shake-up under Nabi signals a clear intent to restore Kaizer Chiefs to their former glory and end their prolonged domestic title drought.
