Kaizer Chiefs defender Xolani Cossa has joined a club in the Motsepe Foundation Championship ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Xolani Cossa, the young left-sided centre back, played his football in the Botswana Premier League last season for Black Lions FC.

Lions were interested in keeping the player for another season, but a decision was made for the young defender to be in the country and he has now joined Gomora ahead of the new season, which starts towards the end of August.

Gomora chairman Joe Seanego confirmed that the defender has joined from Amakhosi.

“Yes, from Chiefs. He is on loan,” Seanego said when contacted by Soccer Laduma.

Sifiso Timba has also joined Gomora on loan for the season.

Timba was on loan to Gomora for the second half of last season and the club showed an interest in having him back for the upcoming campaign.

Chiefs, meanwhile, are looking to loan out goalkeeper Bontle Molefe for the season.

He was at Leicesterford City for the second half of last season and will get another opportunity to go out and get experience elsewhere.

As things stand, it looks the player will be in the Championship.
