Kaizer Chiefs Management has today ended weeks of speculation on player acquisitions and transfers. The move comes just about a week after Kaizer Chiefs Football Manager Bobby Motaung publicly requested the Amakhosi faithful to exercise calm and patience as the club is hard at work implementing its plans for the ‘season of change’



“We are right on track in implementing our plans. We are happy to announce that we have covered some ground in acquiring new players while releasing some. This shows our commitment to make the next season, a season of change” said Kaizer Chiefs Chairman and Managing Director, Mr. Kaizer Motaung.





Transfers



Jonathan Quartey (Central Defender)



Chiefs has agreed on terms to release Jonathan to S.A.S.P Olympique Gymnaste Club De Nice CÔTE D’AZUR in France.



“On behalf of the Kaizer Chiefs Family, I would like to thank Jonathan for his contribution during his stay with the team and wish him everything of the best in his new venture” said Motaung.



New Acquisitions



Amakhosi’s quest to reinforce its lads ahead of the 2009/10 season also took a new turn this afternoon. Two new players have been revealed as part of a different Kaizer Chiefs next season.



• Tshifhiwa Mmbooi (26)



Tshifhiwa was born in Giyani, Limpopo in 1983. He signed for Kaizer Chiefs having played for the NFD side Dynamos Football Club.



“We have finalised an outright purchase with Dynamos Football Club for the player whom we have signed on a three year contract. He is a young and talented right back who we are confident will fit in our plans for the next season” he added





• Knowledge Musona (19)



Knowledge was born in Chegutu, Zimbabwe in 1990. Since the age of 14 he has played for Aces Youth Academy in Zimbabwe. He also had a short stint of his football career for six weeks at a development side FC Lugano in Switzerland. Chiefs acquired the services of Knowledge Musona on a three year deal.



“Knowledge is in our view a young and prolific striker, who given a chance can prove his worth in any reputable side. He is a much needed reinforcement in our striking force” Motaung remarked.



Motaung concluded by recommitting to the Amakhosi faithful that “further announcements on player movements will be made at a later stage”.
