Kaizer Chiefs have announced that defender Given Msimango and striker Ashley du Preez have left the club to join Stellenbosch FC.

Msimango arrived at Chiefs from TS Galaxy FC back during the 2023-24 season and went on to feature 53 times across all competitions.

Du Preez joined Chiefs from Stellies in the 2022-23 campaign and scored 19 goals and registered nine assists in 96 appearances in all competitions.

The Glamour Boys have since confirmed the duo will join the Maroons for the 2026-27 season.

“Kaizer Chiefs defender Given Msimango and striker Ashley du Preez have left the Club to join Stellenbosch FC in the Western Cape,” Chiefs said in a statement.

“Msimango, who joined Chiefs from TS Galaxy ahead of the 2023/24 season, made a strong impact during his time at Naturena. The 29-year-old international featured in 53 official matches across all competitions, bringing leadership and consistency to Amakhosi’s backline.

“Du Preez, also 29, returns home to Stellenbosch having spent four seasons with Chiefs after being signed from the Winelands Club in July 2022, and going on to register 19 goals and 6 assists in 96 appearances for the Glamour Boys. His performances in the league earned him a few caps for the South African national team, Bafana Bafana.

“Both players have made significant contributions to Kaizer Chiefs during their time with the Club. Notably, they were part of the team that lifted the Nedbank Cup towards the end of the 2024/25 season.

“We extend our gratitude to Given and Ashley for serving the Club with diligence, dedication and professionalism, and we wish them all the best in their careers.”
