Kaizer Chiefs get their best signing yet: Who is the player!
The Amakhosi legend leaned forward, his voice carrying the authority of 326 appearances in the gold-and-black jersey. "In all their new signings," Willard Katsande declared, "that boy Ndlovu? Different gravy."
As Kaizer Chiefs unveiled six fresh faces for the 2025/26 campaign – from ex-Orlando Pirates fullback Thabiso Monyane to Portuguese technician Flavio Silva – it's the acquisition from SuperSport United's ashes that's drawing special attention. The man who once anchored Chiefs' midfield sees something familiar in Ndlovu: that rare blend of steel and vision that defined Katsande's own decade at Naturena.
When a warrior who captained through 11 Soweto Derbies singles out one signing, the Ghosts would do well to listen. This isn't just another roster addition – it's a potential heir to the midfield throne.
The gravelly voice of Chiefs royalty crackles with conviction as Willard Katsande leans into the microphone: "That boy? He's got the fire." The former midfield enforcer knows what separates good signings from culture-changers at Naturena.
Watching Ndlovu dominate the FNB Stadium turf last season, Katsande saw flashes of his younger self - that same relentless energy, those crunching tackles that lift entire stadiums to their feet. "I told him straight: 'This is your house now,'" reveals the man who wore the 6 jersey with distinction.
At 28, Ndlovu arrives with something rare in modern transfers: proven pedigree (229 PSL appearances, MTN8 glory) fused with untamed hunger. *"When this one goes into a 50-50,"* Katsande warns with a knowing smile, "the grass gets scared."
