Kaizer Chiefs reward SA defender with first-team contract

According to FARPost, Kaizer Chiefs have secured the future of Kabelo Nkgwesa as they rewarded the South African defender with a professional contract after producing top-class performance this season.

Nkgwesa has been one of the key players for the Soweto giants' DDC team this season, and he's one of the reasons they are title contenders.

Kaizer Chiefs lost Thatayaone Ditlhokwe to Libyan side Al-Ittihad during the winter transfer window and failed to sign a replacement before the window closed. Nkgwesa is a left-back and could be the replacement that Nasreddine Nabi is looking to take over the position.

The first team still have Edmilson Dove, Bradley Cross, and Happy Mashiane to pick from, but Nabi claimed he's still want a specialist in the left-back position.

Nkgwesa's agent, MscSports Talent, released an official statement on their handle on X to confirm the defender's signing a professional contract with the Glamour Boys.
