With Sipho Mbule basically ghosted at Orlando Pirates, whispers are getting louder that he could switch lanes and rock up at Kaizer Chiefs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes\u2026\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0move. Chaos loading.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s call it what it is: Mbule and Pirates right now? It\u2019s giving \u201cwe need to talk.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Under coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, the midfield maestro has barely seen grass. Since the start of 2026, he\u2019s clocked a modest 112 minutes in 14 Betway Premiership games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Break it down:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At this point, even the physio has seen more action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His contract runs until June 2026, with an option to extend for 2 years, but here\u2019s the kicker: that extension depends on performance and<\/em> discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the weird part? No official explanation. From the outside, it looks like Mbule has slipped so far down the pecking order he might need a GPS to find his way back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now here\u2019s where it gets spicy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before joining Pirates, Mbule was actually in talks with Chiefs, but Amakhosi took their time, and the deal fizzled out as Pirates pounced first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fast forward to today, and suddenly that missed opportunity looks like unfinished business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because let\u2019s be real, Chiefs are crying out for a creative spark in midfield. Someone who can unlock a defence. Mbule, on his day, is that guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For now, it remains speculation, but it\u2019s one worth keeping an eye on as the situation develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With\u00a0Sipho Mbule\u00a0basically ghosted at\u00a0Orlando Pirates, whispers are getting louder that he could switch lanes and rock up at\u00a0Kaizer Chiefs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1527,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[55,57,56,88,135],"class_list":["post-1526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-betway-premiership","tag-kaizer-chiefs","tag-orlando-pirates","tag-sipho-mbule","tag-transfer-news"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
