Dladla steered Kings to an 11th-placed finish in the NFD in 2016/17, having guided the club to the second tier the season before via the ABC Motsepe League National Play-offs.
''Simo Dladla will be our head coach for the next coming season and we have given him a three-year contract. We just signed him on the new contract,'' Kings managing director Philani Majola tells snl24.com/kickoff.
Majola also confirmed the club has signed Bonginkosi Dladla, Muzikayifani Ngidi and Gabon international Steve Nzambe, adding to the recent capture of central midfielder Zothani Nzimande from Bidvest Wits' development and former Golden Arrows goalkeeper Ricardo Goss.
''We have signed Bonginkosi Dladla. We have also signed Muzikayifani Ngidi, who was previously at Polokwane City. We have signed a left-back from AmaZulu and Gabonese international Steve Nzambe.
"But we are also looking at couple of players and one is from Free State Stars. We have another from Mamelodi Sundowns' development and I won't mention names for now because we haven't signed anything with them."
The Magic Boys will form part of this coming weekend's KZN Premier's Cup, a two-day tournament which will also feature Royal Eagles, newly promoted Uthongathi FC, newly formed Richards Bay FC, AmaZulu, Golden Arrows and Maritzburg United. It will take place at the Umhlathuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay.
