Siyagobhoza transfer latest: Orlando Pirates stance on Dlamini and Kaizer Chiefs shake-up headline new Soccer Laduma edition

Soccer Laduma has released its latest weekly edition, with issue 1484 packed with transfer intrigue, contract battles and potential exits involving some of South Africa’s biggest football clubs.

The publication’s popular Siyagobhoza section once again leads the way on behind-the-scenes developments, with Orlando Pirates’ position on Dlamini amid outside interest, a potential departure at Kaizer Chiefs, and Mamelodi Sundowns’ missed target among the key talking points.

The new issue is now on sale, with the Siya crew detailing moves, options and negotiations affecting several Premier Soccer League (PSL) sides and South African players abroad.

Pirates’ Dlamini decision and Sundowns transfer setback

On page 2, Soccer Laduma reports that Orlando Pirates are standing by Dlamini “despite transfer interest”, with the Buccaneers understood to be backing the player even as potential suitors circle.

Mamelodi Sundowns, meanwhile, are said to have “missed out on Campbell”, suggesting the Tshwane giants have failed in an attempt to land a key target ahead of the new campaign.

In another key development, Casric Stars have reportedly placed a R6m valuation on a player wanted by Sundowns, a figure that could shape further talks. The report states that Casric “slap R6 million price tag on Downs target?”, underlining the financial hurdle the champions may face if they wish to push through any deal.

The Siya crew also reveal that “options [are] being discussed for Tiwani”, hinting at possible movement or a change of environment for the player as clubs weigh up their plans.

Chiefs planning loans and contract calls at home

Kaizer Chiefs feature prominently in the new edition. The Amakhosi are said to be “lining up [a] second loan spell for Molefe”, indicating that the player may once again be sent out to gain more regular game time rather than remain on the fringes at Naturena.

Elsewhere, “Baloyi [is] in line for [a] new contract at Siwelele”, with the report suggesting the player could be rewarded with extended terms as his current deal runs down. The situation underlines how clubs are moving quickly to secure key squad members before the season intensifies.

The Siya crew also note that “Maku [is] trying his luck in Europe”, reflecting another South African player aiming to break into the overseas market and follow in the footsteps of those who have left the PSL for foreign leagues.

After a “Chippa exit”, Konqobe is said to be “weigh[ing] up options”, as the midfielder evaluates his next move following his departure from Chippa United.

Amakhosi exit fears and new roles for stars

On page 3, the magazine reports that “Lilepo could leave Amakhosi”, raising the possibility of another high-profile change at Kaizer Chiefs. Any departure would add to the sense of transition at the club as it attempts to rebuild and challenge Sundowns’ dominance.

In another development, “Mothwa steps into new role?”, signalling a possible positional shift, leadership responsibility or off-field appointment for the player as he enters a different phase of his career.

Goss’ Sundowns return analysed

Further inside, on page 5, Soccer Laduma assesses “What Goss’ Sundowns return means”, breaking down the implications of the goalkeeper’s move back to Mamelodi Sundowns.

The piece, linked to a story dated 20 July 2026, 10:25 (Local), looks at how his comeback could influence squad depth, competition for the number one jersey and the broader goalkeeping strategy at Chloorkop.

Wide-ranging coverage across clubs and continents

The edition also directs readers to recent coverage across the Soccer Laduma platforms, including:

– Local football stories dated 19 and 20 July 2026 – Features in the Manchester United section – Updates on “Players Abroad”, reflecting the journeys of South Africans playing overseas – Dedicated Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns and African football coverage – “Fan Park” content engaging supporters on the biggest talking points
