Khanyisa Mayo reveals how Kaizer Chiefs’ last-minute bid came one hour too late to stop his move to CR Belouizdad in Algeria

Kaizer Chiefs fans may be disappointed to learn that Khanyisa Mayo, the talented South African striker, nearly became part of their team this season.

Unfortunately, Amakhosi’s offer came just one hour too late, pushing Mayo to make his move to Algerian football instead.

From South Africa to Algeria: Mayo’s Decision Explained

In September, the 26-year-old Mayo finalized his transfer to CR Belouizdad, a top club in Algeria.

Hailing from Mthatha, Mayo shared that timing played a critical role in his decision.

He revealed that while Kaizer Chiefs were preparing to make an offer, CR Belouizdad acted first, securing his commitment just before the South African team made their move.

Chiefs’ Offer Arrives an Hour Too Late

Mayo provided more details about the timing, explaining, “As soon as I had signed with CRB, that’s when Chiefs reached out and showed interest in me.”

Reflecting on the sequence of events, Mayo added, “They said they were ready to pay the required amount, but by then, we had already completed the paperwork with CRB.”

What’s Next for Mayo?

With his new journey in Algerian football, Mayo looks forward to proving himself with CR Belouizdad.

Kaizer Chiefs, meanwhile, may have to wait for another opportunity to bring the South African striker into their squad, hoping the timing will work in their favor next time.
