In an attempt to improve their fortunes ahead of the highly anticipated Soweto Derby on Saturday, 1 February, Kaizer Chiefs have announced three fresh additions to their team.
The football club has confirmed that they have signed Glody Makabi Lilepo, Tashreeq Morris and Thabo Cele only one day before the January transfer window ended.
Six wins from 14 games have put Amakhosi in fifth place on the Betway Premiership standings but they are 12 points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who have two games left.
By adding Cele and Morris, Kaizer Chiefs are bolstering their offense and midfield, indicating their intention to contend for victory in the remaining PSL games.
