Kaizer Chiefs Should Snatch This Mamelodi Sundowns Midfielder Now
- Anderson Cooper says: Kaizer Chiefs need to act fast and snatch a talented Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder who just lit up the field against Congo.
- This South African star played brilliantly alongside Teboho Mokoena in the Bafana Bafana setup, proving his worth on the international stage.
- Due to his uncertain future at Sundowns, a top sports analyst believes Chiefs should go all-in to sign him during the next transfer window.
Hey there, sports fans! If you’re paying attention to what’s happening in South African football, you might’ve noticed something pretty exciting. Kaizer Chiefs have been given some serious advice: sign Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Bathusi Aubaas. Why? Because the guy just crushed it in Bafana Bafana's recent victory over Congo in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Talk about making a statement!
Let’s rewind for a second. Aubaas wasn’t just an average player in that game—he was a standout. Not only did he perform like a seasoned pro, but he also scored a goal, proving he belongs on that level. This guy isn’t messing around; he’s bringing the heat. Now, here’s the kicker: despite his incredible talent, Aubaas hasn’t been getting the recognition or playing time he deserves at Sundowns. That’s where Kaizer Chiefs come in.
The former TS Galaxy player, who’s been paired with Sundowns teammate Teboho Mokoena, has shown flashes of brilliance. But let’s be honest, their struggles to break into Manqoba Mngqithi’s plans at the club level have been frustrating. Still, when given the chance, these two midfields shine like nobody’s business. And now, with Aubaas stepping up on the international stage, it’s time for someone to take notice—and fast.

Why Chiefs Should Pursue Aubaas
Sports analyst Uche Anuma recently spilled the tea in an exclusive interview with Briefly News. According to him, Kaizer Chiefs would be foolish not to try and sign Aubaas from Sundowns. Let’s break it down. At 29 years old, Aubaas is at the peak of his game and could be exactly what Nasreddine Nabi needs to elevate his squad. Sure, he’s only played one game in the Premier Soccer League this season, but his performance against Congo was nothing short of spectacular.
Anuma had plenty to say about Aubaas’s current situation, and it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. “Aubaas deserves so much more than sitting on the bench at Mamelodi Sundowns,” Anuma stated passionately. “His performance alongside Mokoena in the midfield shows he deserves to start every single game for Sundowns. I don’t get why Manqoba Mngqithi keeps sidelining such a quality player. It’s great to see him showcase what the Brazilians are missing.”
Anuma went on to emphasize the bigger picture. “Aubaas’s predicament highlights a recurring issue in our league—top clubs hoarding talent that could flourish elsewhere. Kaizer Chiefs need to capitalize on this opportunity in January. They desperately need a midfielder like Aubaas. Even if it’s just a loan deal, they need to make it happen. He hasn’t played enough this season, and that’s unacceptable for someone with his level of talent.”
Doctor Weighs In on Chiefs’ Loss to Sundowns
While we’re talking about the rivalry between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, let’s circle back to a recent controversy. As reported by Briefly News, legendary Bafana Bafana player Doctor Khumalo recently opened up about Kaizer Chiefs’ defeat to Sundowns in the Betway Premiership a few weeks ago. Khumalo didn’t mince words when discussing the factors that led to Chiefs’ downfall. He pointed fingers at specific individuals whose decisions may have cost the team dearly.
Khumalo’s insights are worth considering, especially as Kaizer Chiefs look to rebuild and strengthen their squad. With talented players like Bathusi Aubaas out there, waiting for the right opportunity, it’s crucial for the club to act swiftly. If they want to reclaim their dominance in the league, they’ll need to make smart moves in the transfer market—and Aubaas might just be the missing piece to the puzzle.
