CAPE TOWN – Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the signing of former Cape Town City winger Khanyisa Mayo, bolstering their squad this season.
Chiefs announced on Friday that 27-year-old Khanyisa Mayo has joined Amakhosi from Algerian club CR Belouizdad, adding experience and pace to their squad.
Mayo departed Cape Town City just before the start of the 2024/25 season, completing a permanent transfer to the Algerian giants.
Mayo is following in the footsteps of his father, former Bafana Bafana forward Patrick Mayo, who made over 60 appearances for Chiefs.
The 27-year-old now shares company with a golden lineage of father-and-son duos who have carried the Amakhosi torch across generations.
Among them are the club’s very own founding family, Dr. Kaizer Motaung and Kaizer Motaung Jr.; the legendary Eliakim and Doctor Khumalo; Joseph and Siphiwe Mkhonza; Fabian and Aden McCarthy; and the celebrated pair of Ace Nkomo and Morgan Gould.
Through their social media channels, the Soweto giants shared a video message announcing Bafana Bafana winger’s return to South Africa.
