Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the official launch of their Kaizer Chiefs Ladies in Daveyton.

Unathi Mabena will take over the helm as head coach and the squad will be made up of 24 players.

The Kaizer Chiefs Ladies’ matches will be played at the KwaThema Stadium and the Kaizer Chiefs Village in Naturena.

“We are very happy to be the first sponsor of the Kaizer Chiefs Ladies team and proud to be associated with this colossal brand, which was also started by a young man back in 1970, Kaizer Motaung,” said Executive Chairman, Tshepo Mekoa.

“We have worked hard to build a strong company that the people of Daveyton, where I’m from, can be proud of. Partnering with Amakhosi allows us to continue writing our beautiful story.”

Brima will serve as the sleeve sponsor for the Kaizer Chiefs Ladies team, with all player jerseys bearing the company’s name and logo.

Kaizer Chiefs Marketing and Commercial Director, Jessica Motaung welcomed Brima to the Amakhosi family: “We are truly enthused by the story of Tshepo and Matsietsi Mekoa, who have worked tirelessly to build one of the biggest logistics companies in the country. Their leap of faith into women’s football is inspirational, and we hope other corporates will follow their example to help grow the women’s game in South Africa and across the continent.”

“We are also happy that the launch of this important project took place in the heart of Daveyton at Brima Café, where the classy establishment employs a number of young people who are in the hospitality industry,” she added.

This multi-year partnership will see Brima Logistics fully support the Kaizer Chiefs Ladies team. Managing Director Matsietsi Mekoa emphasised the importance of giving back: “We know many of these players come from underprivileged backgrounds and we are here to provide hope and support. We are proud to be part of this historic moment and to be standing alongside South Africa’s biggest football Club.”
