Stellenbosch FC have continued to strengthen their squad following the signing of striker Sinoxolo Kwayiba ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Kwayiba arrives at the club on a permanent basis after parting ways with Chippa United, where he scored 17 goals and grabbed three assists in 59 appearances across all competitions.

The 26-year-old has since put pen to paper on a long-term deal with the Maroons.

Kwayiba has described his move to the Cape Winelands club as the perfect fit, praising the club’s professionalism and welcoming environment while outlining his ambition to help the Maroons challenge for silverware.

“It’s nice to have joined Stellenbosch FC and to become part of the Club,” Kwayiba told his new club’s official website.

“The coach, the staff, and the players have welcomed me very well. Since the first day, it’s felt like I am at home, and I can see that this is going to be a good space for me to play my football.

“I played three seasons against Stellenbosch, and every time I did, I saw the same thing, the same team, and the same organisation. From the outside, you can see how this team operates, the professionalism, and how well organised it is. It was never easy playing against Stellenbosch.”

“Stellenbosch, this season, can achieve many things.

“My ambition is to help the team win games, compete for cups, fight for the league, play in the Champions League, and go to the stage that those guys before me went. That’s my ambition.

“The only thing I can say to the Stellenbosch FC fans and family is that when my first game comes around, I’m going to work hard to get into the team, to earn my place, to play and do my best; to do good for the team and to do good for me.”
