Why Kaizer Chiefs signed Asanele Velabayi

Posted on August 16, 2025

Kaizer Chiefs have a new weapon for the Betway Premiership battle, and this one comes with the full blessing of the boss himself.

Naturena has been buzzing with talk of fresh signings, but few announcements have carried the same weight as this. Kaizer Chiefs know when a player is more than just a squad number – and this deal was worth the fight.

The spotlight is now firmly on Asanele Velebayi, the versatile 22-year-old who left Cape Town Spurs under a cloud of contract drama but now wears the famous number 17 jersey in Soweto.

“We are happy to finally have Asanele with us,” Motaung Jr told the club’s website. “He is a great addition, and we believe he will add significant value because he is a perfect fit for our game model and the culture we have here at the club.”
