Hailing new signings, the club’s chairman Siviwe Mpangesi said: “The players have been selected for their quality and consistency in all aspects of the game.”
“The capabilities and potential with their erstwhile team, including the now defunct Bloemfontein Celtic are a key factor and we trust that they will thrive in the Chippa United environment,” Mpangesi said in a statement.
The Chilli Boys will head back to the field following mid-season break, where they will face University of Pretoria in the first round of the Nedbank Cup next week, Friday.
