Kaizer Chiefs target Mihlali Mayambela is seemingly remaining with Aris Limassol in Cyprus. The 28-year-old was heavily linked with a return to Amakhosi this winter.
Before moving to Sweden’s Djurgården aged 18, Mayambela played professional football in the Motsepe Foundation Championship with Cape Town All Stars.
The former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates development player became a journeyman abroad via countries like Portugal, Israel and Cyprus in the Middle East.

Timeline report: New Kaizer Chiefs kit unveiling
In Cyprus, with Limassol during the 2024/25 season, Mayambela played 23 times with four goals and five assists.
According to this update, his club, Limassol, expected far more than Kaizer Chiefs expected for a player with one year left on his contract.
Kaizer Chiefs to make a big announcement
“You know it’s believed that personal terms between the player and the club were agreed but apparently his club were looking for a big transfer fee while he has only one year left on his contract,” an insider told Soccer Laduma.
“And looking at the other players they signed so far it’s believed Kaizer Chiefs felt the asking price was too much and that’s why they had to put the move on hold. But they were really interested in signing him, and the player was also happy to come back home,” the insider added.
“It’s not over yet. It’s apparently just for this window period. They are considering wanting for him to have a free agent status around January and make the second move. But that will also depend on whether Aris Limassol will already renewed his contract or not. That’s what Kaizer Chiefs will be working on for now,” the source concluded.
