‘Miguel Cardoso is doing justice for South African football by trimming Mamelodi Sundowns’ squad and gifting Kaizer Chiefs! Amakhosi are making serious signings this season and they are all scared; But Maboe was sitting on the stands at Masandawana because he is injury prone’ - Fans

Amakhosi landed experienced midfielder Lebohang Maboe, making him their 10th recruit in what has been a busy transfer window.

Lebohang Maboe, formerly of Mamelodi Sundowns and Maritzburg United, has become the latest name added to Kaizer Chiefs’ ever-growing list of new recruits.

The versatile midfielder, who spent the second half of the 2024/25 campaign on loan at SuperSport United, played a key role in their survival fight, making 16 appearances and chipping in with a goal and two assists. 

Here, GOAL takes a look at how supporters have reacted to Maboe’s arrival on social media.

    Positive signs at Chiefs

    We are making serious signings this season and they are all scared! Our defence is packed with quality, our midfield is packed with talent and our attacking depth is too much. - Cozmino

    Better days ahead for Maboe

    Maboe will no longer suffer from sinusitis from the dust he endured all these years at Sundowns. - Aey_Dear

    Things are looking brighter

    We are coming for everything! Chiefs are serious this season. - Lukay

    Not a good signing

    Unnecessary signing, we have many players and isn’t he injury prone? - Vinnie Kutlwano 

  • Mohau Nkota, Orlando Pirates, Lebohang Maboe, SuperSport United, May 2025Backpage

    Maboe is injury prone

    There was no need for this signing. The man was sitting on the stands at Sundowns because he is injury prone. - Mandilakhe Dlula

    Free Agent FC back at it

    10 signings but only three were paid for. It’s good building squad depth but not with quantity. Feisal Salum was the better choice but he won’t be signed cause he’s not a free agent. - Joe Nabiola 

  • Miguel Cardoso, Teboho Mokoena, Mamelodi Sundowns, May 2025Backpage

    More signings to come from Downs

    I don’t know how and what to feel about this signing. But I can guarantee you that there’s hope for Teboho Mokoena that he might play for Kaizer Chiefs one day. - Captain Lizza

    Squad depth on point

    More options upfront means less injuries as we can afford to rest players, have quality on the bench. We all know Sundowns is unlikely to release these superstars in their twenties so I'll happily take a 30 year old. - Mdokodi

    Not convinced

    I didn't see this one coming, anyway welcome to Khosination family. Maybe I don't know anything about football but this signing is confusing and I don't think we need his services. - Miss October
