Ranga Chivaviro’s tenure at Kaizer Chiefs is set to conclude as his contract nears its expiration in June 2025. The 32-year-old striker, who joined the club from Marumo Gallants in 2023, has faced challenges in meeting the high expectations at Naturena.
Chivaviro’s initial season with Chiefs was hampered by an injury sustained before his arrival, leading to a delayed start and a modest tally of four goals in 23 appearances. Despite this setback, he expressed optimism about his recovery and potential contributions in the following season.
In the 2024/25 season, Chivaviro showed signs of improvement, scoring three goals in his first seven matches. However, his form remained inconsistent, and he eventually lost favor with coach Nasreddine Nabi, failing to feature in the matchday squad for several games.
