🚨 Magesi FC Locks in Elvis Chipezeze After Relegation Drama
11 July 2026, 20:34
📝 THE FULL PICTURE:
Elvis Chipezeze won’t be jumping ship despite Magesi FC’s relegation from South Africa’s top flight. The Zimbabwean keeper-already a fan favorite-will stay put as the club gears up for the National First Division. New coach Kabelo Sibiya confirmed he’s on the retention list, though he couldn’t name other players yet due to ongoing contract talks. Chipezeze’s been a cornerstone since arriving from Baroka in 2022, helping Magesi punch above their weight: promotion to the Betway Premiership in 2024, and a legendary Carling Knockout Cup run where he earned Man of the Match in every match-including the final stunner over Mamelodi Sundowns. Wild how one guy carried that whole cup run.
💭 MY TAKE:
This is low-key a statement move by Magesi. Relegation stings, but keeping a proven leader like Chipezeze? That’s stability. He’s not just a keeper-he’s a moment guy. If he can outshine Sundowns in a cup final, imagine what he can do in the NFD. Magesi’s not rebuilding-they’re regrouping. And Chipezeze? He’s not chasing glory elsewhere. He’s staying to prove he belongs and bring the club back up. Respect.
