The long wait is over for the Kaizer Chiefs faithful. Amakhosi have officially completed the signing of highly-regarded midfielder Mihlali Mayambela, securing his services on a long-term contract in a move that has sent waves of excitement through the Naturena base.
The announcement confirms weeks of speculation and fulfills the wishes of countless fans who identified Mayambela as a key target to bolster the club’s midfield.
