Stellenbosch FC have strengthened their squad ahead of the new season with the signing of South Africa international forward Sinoxolo Kwayiba on a permanent transfer from Chippa United.
The 26-year-old has put pen to paper on a long-term contract, becoming the latest addition to Steve Barker’s squad as Stellenbosch continue to build for both domestic and continental competition.
Kwayiba arrives with an impressive record, having scored 16 goals in 51 Betway Premiership appearances for Chippa United across two spells with the club, either side of a stint at Orlando Pirates. His consistent performances established him as one of the league’s most dangerous attacking players.
The versatile attacker has also earned recognition on the international stage. Kwayiba has made five appearances for Bafana Bafana, representing South Africa at the 2024 COSAFA Cup before netting his maiden international goal in a friendly victory over Mozambique last year.
Stellenbosch FC CEO Rob Benadie expressed his excitement after securing the services of the highly rated forward.
“Sinoxolo is an exciting player who we have admired for some time, so we are delighted to welcome him to the Club.
“He is a proven goalscorer and match-winner who has consistently displayed his ability to compete at the highest level, and we believe he will be a valuable addition to our squad.”
Kwayiba’s arrival adds further firepower to Stellenbosch’s attacking options as the Cape Winelands outfit look to build on recent success and remain competitive at the top end of South African football.
Supporters will be hoping the Bafana Bafana forward can quickly adapt to his new surroundings and continue the goalscoring form that made him one of the Betway Premiership’s standout performers.
