Mamelodi Sundowns have finalized the signing of Siyanda Ndlovu from Orlando Pirates, securing the attacking midfielder after a last-minute twist in the transfer saga.

Ndlovu, 25, was initially linked to Pirates following their league title win in 2025, but Sundowns executed a late move to claim the player, who had been undergoing medicals in Johannesburg.

The deal marks a significant boost for Sundowns' attacking options ahead of the 2026 PSL season, with Ndlovu's technical skills and goal-scoring ability highlighted as key assets.

Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs have also made progress in their rebuilding phase by signing goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner, 28, who becomes a free agent after his contract with Sekhukhune United expired.Leaner, who had a solid campaign for his former club, is expected to compete for the No.1 jersey against captain Brandon Petersen.The transfers underscore the competitive nature of the PSL, with both clubs aiming to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season.

Ndlovu's arrival adds depth to Sundowns' attack, while Leaner's experience could stabilize Chiefs' defense under new coach Fernando da Cruz.

The developments reflect the dynamic transfer market in South African football, where clubs are actively reshaping their teams to challenge for titles.
