Kaizer Chiefs have officially completed the permanent signing of forward Khanyisa Mayo from Algerian champions CR Belouizdad after agreeing an undisclosed transfer fee between the two clubs.
The 27-year-old attacker initially joined Amakhosi on loan last season and did enough to convince the club to secure his services on a long-term basis as they continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
Mayo’s permanent arrival is another significant statement of intent from Kaizer Chiefs, who are rebuilding under head coach Fernando Da Cruz and preparing to compete on multiple fronts, including the Betway Premiership, domestic cup competitions, and the CAF interclub tournaments.
During his loan spell, Mayo impressed with his work rate, versatility, and attacking quality, quickly becoming a popular figure among the Amakhosi faithful. His pace, creativity, intelligent movement, and eye for goal make him a valuable asset as Chiefs look to challenge for major honours.
The permanent deal provides stability for both the player and the club, allowing Mayo to continue his development in the famous gold and black jersey while giving Da Cruz another proven attacking option for the demanding season ahead.
With his future now secured at Naturena, expectations will be high for Mayo to build on his performances and play a leading role in Kaizer Chiefs’ pursuit of domestic and continental success.
The Glamour Boys have welcomed the forward as a permanent member of the squad, and supporters will be eager to see him continue making a positive impact in the seasons to come.
