Shinga in particular has fans excited.
The 25-year-old arrived from FC Alverca in a transfer reportedly worth R4.5 million, signalling a statement from Naturena.
“I know Chiefs fans have been saying their team doesn’t, but they did pay a transfer fee.”

There is speculation that former Orlando Pirates wing-back Thabiso Monyane is also set to join Chiefs.
His contract with the Buccaneers expired and he bid farewell after 13 years with the club.
“He could actually prove to be the best signing that Chiefs have made is he stays injury-free. He was looked at as a development player and never really given that respect… he wants to really prove himself.”
