Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the signing of striker Khanyisa Mayo from CR Belouizdad.

The 27-year-old arrives at Amakhosi after spending the 2024-25 season at the Algerian outfit, where he scored six goals and grabbed one assist in 41 appearances in all competitions.

Mayo brings a wealth of experience, previously playing for SuperSport United, Ubuntu, Royal Eagles, Richards Bay, Cape Town City and most recently CR Belouizdad.

Over the course of his career, Mayo has netted 37 goals and registered nine assists in 142 appearances across all competitions.

The striker has now become Amakhosi’s 11th signing of the 2025-26 season and is expected to link up with his new teammates next week at Naturena.

“It’s no secret that we wanted to bring Khanyisa to Naturena before his move to Algeria,” said Kaizer Motaung Jr.

“He has a proven track record in the league, and we believe he will add significant value to the squad this season when we play in the league, as well as on the continent.

“He joins an select group of athletes who’ve made their families proud by following in their footsteps. We are truly happy to have him here and wish him all the best.”

Kaizer Chiefs have released the following statement on the matter, which reads:

“Amakhosi Family, our new signing has a message for you,” Chiefs announced on social media.

“We are looking forward to welcoming him home soon.

“We just couldn’t wait to let you know that Khanyisa Mayo is Khosified!!! Welcome Khosi, we look forward to revealing that special jersey number….look out for the reveal coming soon.”
