SHARP SHOOTERS
Soccer Club|April 2023
Inadequate records mean we do not have the full picture of goal-scorers in Kaizer Chiefs' history, but we can run the numbers on their leading marksmen since the formation of the National Soccer League in 1985

SHARP SHOOTERS

10-. DONALD KHUSE – 50 GOALS

'Ace' Khuse played for both Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns before joining Chiefs in 1989. He left Naturena four years later after winning a move to Turkish side Gençlerbirliği, but not before helping Chiefs to three league titles and eight major knockout trophies, including a sweep of domestic honours.

10-. POLLEN NDLANYA 50 GOALS

The striker's tally was significantly boosted when he scored 29 times in the 1998/99 season to finish top scorer in the league and claim the Player of the Season prize.

That won him a move to Turkey, though he quickly returned and played at AmaZulu and more famously Orlando Pirates. His first goal for Chiefs was in 1992, when he netted in a BP Top 8 quarterfinal win over Fairway Stars.

9. TREVOR MTHIMKHULU 52 GOALS

Mthimkhulu was already an established name in the Chiefs side by the start of

8. SIPHIWE TSHABALALA - 58 GOALS

'Shabba' captured the imagination of fans with his incisive wing play and, later on, intelligent use of the ball from a playmaker role.

He was not one for tap-ins, and a list of the DStv Premiership's best goals of the past decade is bound to feature a number of his strikes.

His first Chiefs goal came against Lamontville Golden Arrows in December 2007 and his last was a superb free kick against Baroka FC in August 2018 the 1985 season and although he did not have any wildly prolific campaigns after that, remained a regular provider of goals for the next eight years.
