kaizer chiefs strikers are once again in the spotlight as advice is given to maximise Ranga Chivaviro and Ashley Du Preez.

Former Chiefs forward Lehlohonolo Majoro recently shared crucial insights on how to elevate the performances of Chivaviro and Du Preez, two of the club’s most valuable assets. Both players have proven their mettle in the Premier Soccer League (PSL), previously shining at Marumo Gallants and Stellenbosch FC.

Chivaviro showcased remarkable goal-scoring ability in the 2022/2023 season, netting 17 goals in 30 matches for Gallants, while Du Preez contributed nine goals and three assists during the 2021/2022 season at Stellenbosch. However, last season proved challenging for the duo at Kaizer Chiefs, as they faced injuries and managed to score only four and six goals, respectively.

Current season updates: A mixed bag

As the 2024/2025 season unfolds, Chivaviro has found his rhythm, scoring two goals in three Betway Premiership matches. In contrast, Du Preez has yet to make his mark, remaining goalless and serving primarily as a substitute.

Majoro emphasises the importance of having a creative player to support Chivaviro and Du Preez on the field. He recalls how Siphiwe Tshabalala consistently provided him with key passes during his time at Chiefs.

A strategic signing: Gaston Sirino

To enhance their squad, the Glamour Boys signed former Mamelodi Sundowns star Gaston Sirino as a free agent ahead of the current season. Sirino has already made an impact, scoring one goal and delivering two assists in three appearances.

“At Kaizer Chiefs, I had Shabba [Siphiwe Tshabalala], who knew that at any time I make a run, without fail, he will put a cross and pinpoint me,” Majoro stated, according to FARPost.

He believes that “[Ashley] Du Preez and Ranga [Chivaviro] need those kinds of players that will say keep making your runs, then we will give you a ball regardless, of first-time failure, second-time failure, or if you miss your one-on-one.”

The importance of belief and support

With Majoro’s insights and Sirino’s arrival, Kaizer Chiefs have the potential to unlock the full capabilities of Chivaviro and Du Preez, setting the stage for exceptional performances and a successful season ahead.
