🚨 Chiefs’ 10 WORST Transfers of the Last 10 Years – What Were They THINKING?! 🤦♂️🔥
10. Siphelele Ntshangase (2018–2021)

Dubbed “Stash” and hailed as the next creative genius, Ntshangase arrived with high expectations after dazzling for Baroka and Black Leopards. But at Chiefs? He barely made a dent.
Lacking consistency and reportedly struggling with discipline off the pitch, he ended up spending more time on the bench than building attacks. A wasted talent, and a wasted signing.
9. Godfrey Walusimbi (2018)
Signed from Gor Mahia with solid credentials, the Ugandan left-back was expected to lock down Chiefs’ defense.
)
Instead, he was released after less than a season. Poor positioning, slow reactions, and zero chemistry with the backline turned him into a forgettable flop—fast.
8. Kgotso Moleko (2015–2021)
While he wasn’t technically a new signing, Moleko’s extended stay during a crucial rebuilding phase was baffling.
Inconsistent performances and countless defensive blunders made him a frustrating figure among fans.
Many felt Chiefs held onto him far too long when better options were available.
7. Lazarous Kambole (2019–2022)

The Zambian striker arrived with major hype and was tipped to become a goal machine.
Instead? He delivered 2 goals in 46 appearances. TWO. His touch was heavy, confidence shot, and every match felt like a reminder of money wasted. Fans begged for a turnaround—it never came.
6. Yagan Sasman (2019–2021)

A signing that puzzled fans from the get-go. Sasman never looked like a Chiefs-level player.
Frequently caught out of position and lacking defensive grit, he became a weak link in every formation.
Another misfire in the club’s revolving door of defensive experiments.
5. Anthony Akumu Agay (2020–2022)
The Kenyan midfielder brought size but little substance.
Slow in transition, prone to silly fouls, and offering minimal creative contribution, Akumu never fit into Chiefs’ system.
His release came quietly, and fans barely noticed—because his impact was barely felt.
4. Siyabonga Ngezana (2016–2023)

Another player who wasn’t technically a signing but became symbolic of the club’s defensive decline.
While he had his moments, his frequent lapses in concentration and costly errors in big matches (hello, 2021 Soweto Derby) earned him a spot on this list.
Fans often labeled him “heart attack FC.”
3. Keagan Dolly (2021–2024)
Yes, this one hurts. And it will be controversial.
But hear us out. Dolly came in as a marquee signing, one of the highest-paid players in the PSL. And yet… he never truly delivered
. Flashes of brilliance? Sure.
But long injuries, inconsistent fitness, and a lack of big-game impact turned what should’ve been a dream move into a slow, expensive disappointment. By 2024, fans were begging for someone more reliable.
2. Sibusiso Mthethwa (2023–2024)
Another head-scratcher.
Signed as a supposed rock at the back, Mthethwa struggled with pace, decision-making, and adapting to the Chiefs’ defensive demands.
His performances raised more eyebrows than cheers, and by the time he left, most fans were asking one thing: “Who even scouted him?”
1. Leonardo Castro (2018–2022)

On paper, Castro had the pedigree: an ex-Sundowns star with CAF experience.
But at Chiefs? He became the poster boy for underachievement. Plagued by fitness issues, patchy form, and bizarre positional play, Castro’s time at Naturena was one long cycle of false hope.
Despite endless chances, he never led the line like a true Chiefs striker should.
He was supposed to be the answer—he ended up being a very expensive question mark.
