The Citizens were relegated from the Betway Premiership in the 2023/24 season and failed in their attempts at an immediate return as they lost out in the play-offs to Milford FC after ending their campaign in second place.
Jan Vreman has since been replaced by Andries Ulderink and the new head coach has already started to rework his squad.
Leaving the club are Keagan Dolly, Njabulo Ngcobo, Dzenan Dzajmovic, Sifiso Ngobeni and Siphamandla Dondolo.
"Cape Town City can confirm the departure of the following players, who have worn the badge with pride and represented the club with heart," read a club statement.
"Each player leaves with our sincere thanks for the dedication, commitment and professionalism they showed during their time at the club.
“We wish them nothing but success as they begin the next chapter of their journey. Once a Citizen, always a Citizen.”
