๐จ Chiefsโ 10 WORST Transfers of the Last 10 Years โ What Were They THINKING?! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐ฅ
10. Siphelele Ntshangase (2018โ2021)

Dubbed โStashโ 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 Chiefsโ 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 flopโfast.
8. Kgotso Moleko (2015โ2021)
While he wasnโt technically a new signing, Molekoโs 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 (2019โ2022)

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 turnaroundโit never came.
6. Yagan Sasman (2019โ2021)

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 clubโs revolving door of defensive experiments.
5. Anthony Akumu Agay (2020โ2022)
The Kenyan midfielder brought size but little substance.
Slow in transition, prone to silly fouls, and offering minimal creative contribution, Akumu never fit into Chiefsโ system.
His release came quietly, and fans barely noticedโbecause his impact was barely felt.
4. Siyabonga Ngezana (2016โ2023)

Another player who wasnโt technically a signing but became symbolic of the clubโs 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 โheart attack FC.โ
3. Keagan Dolly (2021โ2024)
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 yetโฆ he never truly delivered
. Flashes of brilliance? Sure.
But long injuries, inconsistent fitness, and a lack of big-game impact turned what shouldโve been a dream move into a slow, expensive disappointment. By 2024, fans were begging for someone more reliable.
2. Sibusiso Mthethwa (2023โ2024)
Another head-scratcher.
Signed as a supposed rock at the back, Mthethwa struggled with pace, decision-making, and adapting to the Chiefsโ defensive demands.
His performances raised more eyebrows than cheers, and by the time he left, most fans were asking one thing: โWho even scouted him?โ
1. Leonardo Castro (2018โ2022)

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 answerโhe ended up being a very expensive question mark.
