With the transfer window heating up, one name that just won’t go away is Mihlali Mayambela.
The Bafana Bafana winger, who’s currently plying his trade in Cyprus, has finally addressed the growing speculation linking him to Kaizer Chiefs.
And while the excitement is real, he’s urging fans to hold their horses — for now.
Conversations Have Happened, But Nothing’s Signed Yet
Mayambela, known for his flair and left-footed precision, has confirmed that there has been contact between him and the Chiefs.
Specifically, he revealed that he had a conversation with Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr. But before fans start printing his name on the back of their jerseys, he made it clear — nothing is set in stone just yet.
“You can see the club is going through changes,” Mayambela said, referencing Chiefs’ recent wave of signings under new coach Nasreddine Nabi.
But while he didn’t rule out a move, he also didn’t commit to anything happening soon.
Is Naturena His Next Destination?
At 28, Mayambela could be a great addition to a team undergoing a major rebuild.
Chiefs fans have been buzzing online, wondering if he’s the missing piece to the new-look squad.
With his European experience and attacking edge, he fits the profile of a player who could thrive under Nabi’s leadership.
But as of now, it seems like a “wait and see” situation.
Junior Khanye Has Questions About the Goalkeeping Department
While the talk around Mayambela continues, another hot topic surrounding Chiefs is the noticeable lack of a new goalkeeper
. Former Amakhosi star and now vocal analyst Junior Khanye hasn’t minced words — he’s calling out the club for ignoring a critical area.
Despite bringing in six new players (excluding youngsters Asanele Velebayi and Luke Baartman), Chiefs haven’t reinforced their goalkeeping unit. That’s raised more than a few eyebrows.
Goalkeeper Concerns Grow Among Supporters
The decision to skip over the keeper position during recruitment has left many fans scratching their heads.
With uncertainty hanging over the posts going into the new season, the pressure is on the club to make a move — or justify their silence.
Khanye, never shy about offering his opinions, has pointed out that a solid shot-stopper is foundational to any serious title challenge.
So far, though, Chiefs appear to be banking on their current options, or keeping their cards close to their chest.
What’s Next for Chiefs in the Transfer Window?
As the transfer buzz continues, it’s clear Kaizer Chiefs still have some big decisions to make.
Will Mayambela make the move from Cyprus to Soweto? And will the club finally address their goalkeeping dilemma?
In the meantime, fans are being asked to weigh in — who should be the next big signing? Whether it’s via WhatsApp or social media, the club wants to hear from its supporters.
