Chiefs have pulled off a significant move by hiring Thembela ‘Tera’ Maliwa, the esteemed scout previously with Mamelodi Sundowns. This strategic acquisition promises to reshape the club’s scouting and recruitment strategy, bolstering their efforts to attract top footballing talent.

Maliwa to take charge of Chiefs’ recruitment strategy

This publication can confirm that Chiefs are positioning Maliwa to revitalize their scouting operations, leveraging his deep connections and extensive knowledge of the footballing landscape.

Maliwa’s track record is impressive. Known for his exceptional ability to identify and nurture emerging talents, he has become a respected figure in the scouting community. His career began at Ajax Cape Town, where he was instrumental in discovering several young stars, including current Mamelodi Sundowns defender Rivaldo Coetzee. Maliwa’s keen eye for talent soon led him to work with globally renowned clubs like Ajax Amsterdam and Heerenveen, before his notable seven-year tenure at Sundowns.

Tera’s impact and legacy in scouting

During his time at Ajax, Maliwa’s role extended beyond scouting to coaching. Where he played a crucial part in developing future stars such as Stellenbosch FC’s Jayden Adams and Luke Le Roux, as well as Tashreeq Matthews, now at Sundowns. His multifaceted experience adds significant value to his new role with Kaizer Chiefs. This diverse background in both scouting and youth development will play a crucial role in enhancing Chiefs’ ability to identify and recruit top talent.

Maliwa bid farewell to Mamelodi Sundowns with a heartfelt message: “Thank You, Mamelodi Sundowns FC. It’s tough to say goodbye after seven unforgettable years at the club. It has been a pleasure to be a part of the Mamelodi Sundowns football family for this long.” He expressed his gratitude to the club’s management, the Motsepe family. And the passionate Masandawana fans, reflecting on the impactful journey he had with the club.

Kaizer Chiefs’ acquisition of Thembela Maliwa represents a strategic enhancement to their scouting operations. With his proven track record and extensive network, Maliwa is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Chiefs. Bringing fresh opportunities and talent to the club as they look to strengthen their squad and achieve new heights.
