Kaizer Chiefs interim coach Arthur Zwane was coy to confirm whether or not Amakhosi have signed Zitha Kwinika from Stellenbosch after Steve Barked had said the deal is done.
Kwinika, who was named Player’s Player of the Season and Footballer of the Season at the Stellenbosch awards gala, which was attended by iDiski Times, is seemingly returning to Naturena as reported by iDiski Times three weeks ago.
Well deserved 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

During the awards ceremony, Stellies coach Steve Barker did announce that Kwinika, who changed his surname from Macheke last year, will return to his boyhood club.
However, Zwane didn’t want to comment on the deal, saying the club’s technical team will sit down after the club’s final DStv Premiership game to discuss the ins and outs at Naturena.
“I’ll leave that to the club,” he told reporters.
“As you know we will sit down, obviously the whole technical staff and discuss about what’s going to happen going forward.
“I think next week, we’ll have that meeting to see who is coming in and who is going out.”
Kwinika, who came through the Chiefs youth system, left the Glamour Boys in 2015 before making his debut.
The 28-year-old defender made 56 appearances for Stellenbosch, scoring one goal after joining them from the former Bidvest Wits. He’s also featured 76 times for Chippa United, whom he joined in 2015, and made another 34 appearances for the Wits.
