Dynamos Thomas Sweswe joins Chiefs

Dynamos midfield defender Thomas Sweswe has shocked the club by signing a three-year contract with the South African Premier League’s Kaizer Chiefs. Besides Dynamos, Sweswe has previously played for Highlanders, Mwana Africa, and Manning Rangers of South Africa.

Fellow Zimbabwe Warriors team member and Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Tinashe Nengomasha told VOA’s Studio 7 for Zimbabwe that he welcomes Sweswe’s recruitment, which fills a midfield gap for the team.

Kaizer Chiefs have meanwhile also confirmed the acquisition of much-talked about Pretoria University midfielder-cum-striker Mthokozisi Yende.

“We have great pleasure to announce that we have agreed on terms with Mthokozisi and his team Pretoria University, to acquire his services. The onus is now with ‘Tuks’ legal team to finalize due processes with regards to the signing of the contracts and agreements,” said Chiefs Football Manager, Bobby Motaung.

He added: “A need also arose for us to ensure that we reinforce our defence material for next season. We have subsequently secured a three-year contract with a central defender, Thomas Sweswe from Zimbabwe whose international track record speaks for itself. We are confident that his loads of experience will ensure that we have a water-tight defence line-up next season.”

Both players have agreed to sign three-year deals with ‘Amakhosi’. Motaung also revealed that the club has released defender Mokete Tsotetsi to Bloemfontein Celtic.

“Mokete has a bright future ahead of him. He is a player with loads of potential and we believe he has made his mark with the team and will continue to do the same at Celtic,” said Motaung.

“On behalf of the Kaizer Chiefs family, I would like to thank him for his contribution to the team. He has demonstrated a very good professional behaviour at Chiefs. We also would like to wish him success in his new club,” concluded Motaung.
