Players like Siyethemba Sithebe and Sifiso Hlanti have been mentioned, with their deals up soon. They have been joined by Happy Mashiane and Zitha Kwinika of late. One player that has been fighting those exit rumours at Chiefs is Njabulo Ngcobo. The centre back joined Amakhosi from Moroka Swallows, after winning defender of the season. Before putting pen to paper at the club, they fought of stern competition from Mamelodi Sundowns for his services. The club was able to clinch that deal through their good relationship with the Dube Birds.

Things have not quite gone according to plan for Ngcobo at Chiefs thus far, however. The player has not been a regular in the starting line up in his two-and-a-half years at Naturena. That has led to rumours that he would be sold by the club at the start of the current season. The signings of Given Msimango and Thatoayane Dithlokwe only made matters worse, but he decided to stay and fight. That seems to have paid dividends as he has managed to get the odd start here and there.

Just this week, Ngcobo said he had no regrets and was ready to fight for his place at Chiefs. That does not seem like it will happen though, the latest reports claiming he is set for an exit.
