Fiacre Ntwari: Rwanda goalkeeper leaves Kaizer Chiefs to join Kruger United

Rwanda goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari has joined Kruger United from Kaizer Chiefs, completing a move within South Africa’s Betway Premiership. The 26-year-old swaps one top-flight club for another as Kruger United reinforce their options in goal ahead of the new campaign.

Ntwari arrives with an estimated market value of around €275,000, underlining the regard in which he is held in the domestic league. His transfer keeps him in familiar surroundings in the South African top tier, but offers a fresh start at a club looking to strengthen key positions.

The move marks the end of Ntwari’s time at Kaizer Chiefs, where the Rwandan international goalkeeper was part of one of the country’s most high-profile squads. A change of club within the same division suggests Kruger United see him as a player capable of making an immediate impact in their first-team setup.

For Ntwari, the switch presents an opportunity to consolidate his career at an important stage of his development, remaining in a competitive league he already knows. At 26, he is entering years typically regarded as a goalkeeper’s prime and will aim to establish himself quickly in his new environment.

The deal, completed on 19 July 2026, makes Ntwari one of Kruger United’s notable additions in this transfer window as he officially departs Kaizer Chiefs for their Premiership rivals.
