Kamohelo Mahlatsi has left Kaizer Chiefs after the midfielder’s contract was terminated by mutual consent.

The club announced that 25-year-old who joined Amakhosi from Moroka Swallows in 2022 and featured seven times for the Naturena-based outfit is now a free agent.

“Kamohelo has given his best at all times while a Chiefs player and, following consultation with his representatives, we decided to release him with a view to him finding more regular game time somewhere else.

“We appreciate his efforts and wish him all of the best for the future,” said the Club’s Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr.

After playing to a 0-0 draw against Royal AM at home on Saturday, Kaizer Chiefs will be on the road this week as they travel north to visit SuperSport United in Polokwane on Wednesday for their next DStv Premiership match.

SuperSport United took part in the CAF Confederation Cup on Saturday against Gaborone United, where they played to a 1-1 draw in Botswana’s capital.

Kaizer Chiefs to face Matsatsantsa

While coach Molefi Ntseki will be looking for an away win against Matsatsantsa, Gavin Hunt’s team is desperate to remedy the 3-0 drubbing they suffered in the hands of Golden Arrows in their last league match on August 29.

This will be Chiefs’ first visit to Peter Mokaba stadium this season, which is their home away from home, although Amakhosi will be visitors this time.

Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates bade farewell to Ben Motshwari following his departure from the Soweto giants.

In a statement issued, the Buccaneers said the 32-year-old with over 130 appearances for the club has left his mark. 

“Although his journey with us has come to an end as he embarks on a new chapter. However, it has been marked by highs and lows, but through it all, his commitment to the team has never wavered.

“In the world of football, where finesse and technique often take centre stage, there emerges an occasional warrior whose grit, determination, and bulldog approach define their legacy more than any flashy skill. 

“Ben Motshwari is one of those players who embodies the spirit of a true football gladiator. Much like the legendary Gennaro Gattuso, Motshwari’s approach to the game was defined by heart and tenacity. Every time he stepped onto the pitch, he gave his all for that Orlando Pirates jersey,” the statement read.
