Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Siphelele “Stash” Ntshangase Seals Move to Mbabane Black Eagles
Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Siphelele “Stash” Ntshangase has officially sealed his move to Mbabane Black Eagles, wasting no time putting pen to paper before heading straight into training with his new Amawele teammates.
The 33-year-old was pictured at the St Mark’s ground on Tuesday, beginning preparations with his new club just hours after formally committing his future to the Eswatini outfit — a swift turnaround that shows just how eager both parties were to get the deal over the line.
Ntshangase’s arrival couldn’t be better timed for Amawele, who will be eager to have him in the fold as they prepare for next weekend’s MTN Premier League showdown against Mbabane Highlanders AM FC.
First Impressions from the Training Ground
A player who trained alongside Ntshangase offered an early glimpse into what Amawele can expect from their experienced new addition, suggesting his quality was evident from the very first session. “He has arrived and from what I saw, you can tell that he can help the team. He has not been active for a while so his fitness will need some work but this break could also give him enough time to work on his fitness and get himself ready,” the player said.
It’s an honest assessment — Ntshangase’s spell without regular competitive action has understandably left its mark on his fitness levels — but his teammate’s comments point to a player whose football intelligence and quality remain very much intact, even if the sharpness needs rebuilding.
A Career That Speaks for Itself
Ntshangase arrives in Eswatini with a wealth of top-flight experience that few in the MTN Premier League can match. The midfielder first made his name at Baroka FC before earning a dream move to Kaizer Chiefs, where he proudly wore the club’s iconic number 10 jersey — a shirt reserved for players trusted to dictate the tempo of the game. He went on to turn out for Marumo Gallants and Black Leopards, before a spell in the lower divisions kept him ticking over.
Now, Amawele hope to tap into that experience as they look to strengthen their midfield ahead of a big season in the 2026/27 campaign. Ntshangase’s creativity and game understanding are expected to be closely monitored in training as he works his way back to full fitness.
Debut Watch Begins
With the Highlanders AM FC clash edging closer, all eyes will now be on how quickly Ntshangase can find his rhythm. Should he impress in training, Amawele fans could be treated to a highly anticipated first appearance from their new number 10 sooner rather than later.
It’s a fresh chapter for a player who once lit up Naturena — and Eswatini football will be watching closely to see what “Stash” still has to offer., wasting no time putting pen to paper before heading straight into training with his new Amawele teammates.
