  "account": "Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly in the process of signing Bafana Bafana winger Elias Mokwana, according to multiple reports. The 27-year-old is expected to agree personal terms with the South African club, following a mutual agreement with Tunisian club Esperance to terminate his contract. Mokwana, who was released by Esperance in September, spent the previous season on loan with Saudi Pro League side Al-Hazem. He previously played for Babina Noko from 2022 to 2024, netting seven goals and providing four assists in 38 appearances across all competitions. Mokwana was included in Hugo Broos' South African national team squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, but only played 20 minutes during the tournament. He was also part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup squad but did not feature. If he completes his medical this week, Chiefs hope Mokwana can bolster their attack with his experience and scoring ability.",
