Magesi FC goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze has addressed speculation on his future at the club following his impressive displays in Dikwena Tsa Meetse colours since their promotion in the Betway Premiership.
The 34-year-old shot-stopper was speaking during the 2025 Nedbank Cup Last 32 draw on Thursday, 9 January. Magesi were drawn against Gavin Hunt’s SuperSport United in the tournament’s Round of 32.
This comes after former Orlando Pirates star Benedict Vilakazi recently recommended that Kaizer Chiefs sign the Magesi captain, Chipezeze, to bolster their goalkeeping department and defence, as Amakhosi only managed to keep one clean sheet so far this campaign.
The veteran goalie is also reported to be on the radar of a Betway Premiership team and a cash-rich Zimbabwean outfit. So far this season, Chipezeze has played in 13 games across all competitions for the Limpopo club.
To top it off, the Ex-Baroka FC man kept six clean sheets and conceded 12 goals from the 13 matches he has played. He also collected four man-of-the-match accolades in the Carling Knockout Cup.
WHAT ELVIS CHIPEZEZE SAID ON HIS MAGESI FC FUTURE DESPITE BEING TIPPED TO JOIN BIG CLUBS
Chipezeze stated that he is focused on the job at hand, as he aims to assist Magesi to win games and steer clear of the relegation zone.
“For now, I’m just focused on Magesi FC. Remember, I’m still contracted to the club,” said the Zimbabwean international.
“I’m here to serve the club, and that is what I’m going to do until the time is right. But for now, I’m focused on Magesi, and the rest will deal with itself.”
WILL MAGESI FC REPLICATE THE CARLING KNOCKOUT CUP FORM IN THE NEDBANK CUP?
He noted that this is a fresh campaign and expressed uncertainty about whether they can reproduce their Carling Knockout Cup performance. However, he added they are in this tournament to make a mark.
“This one is a new competition. We are going to take it one game at a time. So, we have seen it in the past; this cup is full of surprises, and you can’t take each game for granted,” he added.
“We just have to go out there and work extremely hard. This will help us achieve the goals that we want to accomplish as a football club. Remember, this is our first season in the league, and we are also learning from each game that comes.
“So, it is an opportunity for us to make sure that we make a mark in the division. We are playing with a team that has a vast amount of experience in cup competitions. It is going to be an exciting and challenging one. But you know, this is what we are going to do: put out good performances.”
