Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly snapped up TS Galaxy goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari as they start to strengthen ahead of the new DStv Premiership season.
The 24-year-old Rwandan shot-stopper joined the Rockets from AS Kigali at the beginning of the last campaign.

Ntwari played 24 times as Galaxy ended their DStv Premiership 2023/24 league campaign in sixth place.
Amakhosi are one goalkeeper down following the departure of club captain Itumeleng Khune.
Chiefs have already signed left-back Bongani Sam from Orlando Pirates, and Galaxy president Tim Sukazi says this is also a done deal.
He told SABC Sport: “I believe this was a meeting of the minds after protracted negotiations. Chiefs strongly wanted the player (Fiacre Ntwari) and made that clear.
“It’s not that we did not need the player, but this is our business model.
“We’ve done this before and we are going to reinvest into the project yet again.”
Sukazi added that Ntwari will add some much-needed quality to the Chiefs squad.
“I believe in SA football having a strong Kaizer Chiefs that is of a high standard, and Ntwari is the type of goalkeeper that will be able to contribute to their project. We cannot have a weak Chiefs, whether you and I like it or not,” he explained.
