Kaizer Chiefs snap up for former Orlando Pirates defenders

The duo were released by the Buccaneers as part of a mass clear-out as they prepare for next season.

They join Amakhosi as free-agents and become the Betway Premiership club's fourth and fifth signings this week after the capture of defender Nkanyiso Shinga, striker Flavio Silva and midfielder Ethan Chislett.

A club statement read: "Kaizer Chiefs are delighted to announce the signings of Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako as their two new acquisitions after announcing three other players earlier this week.

"Previously with Orlando Pirates, the pair bring valuable experience to Naturena, having won trophies and participated in the CAF Champions League in recent seasons.

"Mako, born in Zebediela, Limpopo, plays as a left wingback, while Monyane operates as a right back in the defensive line. The duo will reinforce Amakhosi’s rear guard with their versatility and work rate.

"The team will travel to the Netherlands tonight for a pre-season training camp."

Chiefs will arrive in the Netherlands on 4 July and will play five friendly matches against Vitesse Arnhem, FC Utrecht, NEC Nijmegen, PEC Zwolle and FC Twente.
