Kaizer Chiefs Attacker Breaks Eight-Year Goalscoring Record This Season

Kaizer Chiefs forward Wandile Duba has written his name into the club’s recent history after reaching a remarkable goalscoring milestone that had not been achieved by another Amakhosi player in eight years.

According to OptaJabu, the 2026 campaign has seen Duba find the back of the net 10 times for the Soweto giants. His achievement makes him the first Kaizer Chiefs player since Leonardo Castro in 2018 to register double-digit goals within a single calendar year.

The milestone represents an important step in the young striker’s development, particularly as he continues to establish himself as a valuable attacking option at Naturena. His ability to deliver goals has provided the club with an encouraging contribution during the season.

Since Castro achieved the feat eight years ago, no other Chiefs player had managed to reach 10 goals within a calendar year. Duba has now brought that lengthy wait to an end, joining the Colombian forward as one of the few players to accomplish the feat in the club’s recent history.

His achievement also reflects the importance of having reliable goalscorers in a team seeking to improve its performances. For a club with the expectations and history of Kaizer Chiefs, consistent attacking contributions remain essential to competing for domestic trophies.

Castro’s name remains familiar among supporters who followed his time with Amakhosi, making Duba’s latest accomplishment even more significant.

However, the 10-goal record is only one stage of the attacker’s journey. Maintaining his current form, improving his overall contribution and helping the club achieve its objectives will be equally important.
