Gavin Hunt was recently appointed as the Chippa United head coach and is making an effort to rectify the problems in the squad. Going for experience rather than gambling, Hunt has signed veteran striker Rodney Ramagalela.
Ramagalela has departed from Black Leopards, who were relegated last season. He captained Lidoda Duvha in the 2020/21 season and was one of the team's standout performers despite a poor season for the Thohoyandou-based side, making 25 appearances in all competitions.
However, after being relegated to the GladAfrica Championship, he was declared surplus to requirements and placed up for sale as the squad attempts to rebuild according to Soccer Laduma.

The South African reports that Ramagalela was a member of Mamelodi Sundowns from 2013 to 2016, including a loan spell with Golden Arrows.

It looks that his next trip will be the Eastern Cape coast, where he will team up with Gavin Hunt, a former SuperSport United, Bidvest Wits, and Kaizer Chiefs coach.
Gavin Hunt has put together a more balanced roster than last season when the team only managed to stay in the PSL by winning the relegation/promotion playoffs.
On Saturday, 21 August, Chippa United will kick off their DStv Premiership campaign with an away match against newcomers Sekhukhune United.
Transfer rumours in Mzansi football this week
Briefly News previously reported that the transfer window is about to close at the end of the month and PSL clubs are still looking to sign some new players. Briefly News takes a look at the latest transfer rumours in South African football and likely moves before the end of the window.
The rumour mill is really going as the 2021/22 season is about to start. A few big clubs have done business but others are still looking to strengthen. It would make sense for clubs to try and make crucial signings now to avoid 'panic buying' towards the end of the transfer window.
Ghanaian striker Kwame Peprah is expected to join Orlando Pirates. Peprah presently plays for King Faisal in the Ghana Premier League.
After letting DR Congo international Jean-Marc Makusu return to his parent club without exercising their option to buy, Orlando Pirates have freed up a foreign player space, according to The South African.
