Cape Town City have parted ways with Keanu Cupido , who amassed 143 caps for the Mother City club. Hailing from Soweto, the 27-year-old defender was reportedly keen to be closer to home, prompting Mamelodi Sundowns interest – Cupido joins Jayden Adam’s as the Brazilians latest acquisition. Zwane wanted by Kaizer Chiefs Cupido’s new teammate, Themba Zwane, is being monitored by Kaizer Chiefs amid crippling contract talks between the Bafana icon and Sundowns .
The 35-year-old has four months left on his contract. “Kaizer Chiefs could be watching the situation of a Mamelodi Sundowns star [Themba Zwane] with an interested eye,” KickOff reported. “This as has been the Soweto giants’ tradition with out-of-contract players at Chloorkop in recent years.
Even though Chiefs appeared not to have planned it, it came as no surprise when they signed Gaston Sirino. This after his contract lapsed at Sundowns at the end of June 2024. “Amakhosi may also not be able to resist the temptation of having the opportunity to sign Themba Zwane, whose contract is left with only five months.
With Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos still rating the 35-year-old, it would not be a shock for Chiefs to lure the Tembisa-born man to Naturena,” they added. “He would be following in the footsteps of the likes of Josta Dladla, Katlego Mphela, Leonardo Castro, Khama Billiat, Ramahlwe Mphahlele, and recently Sirino, who all joined Chiefs from Sundowns as free agents.” Good move for Cupido?
