The 30-year-old left South Africa for Portugal in 2014 and has since played for GD Tourizense, Guimaraes B, Famalicao, B SAD, Al-Bataeh CSC and Chaves.

The Bafana Bafana star, popularly known as Cafu Phete, can play either as a defensive midfielder or a centre-back.

He joined Chaves in August, but he's considering a move to a new club after Flavienses was relegated from the Primeira Liga in the 2023–24 campaign.

Kaizer Chiefs have signed three players so far this summer, but none of them have been announced by the club.

Bongani Sam joined the club from city rivals Orlando Pirates, while Fiacre Ntwari and Rushwin Dortley moved to the Naturena from TS Galaxy and Cape Town Spurs, respectively.

Cafu could be the Glamour Boys' latest addition after Nabi's technical team reportedly reawakened the club's interest in the player.
