“It was close… I was coming back from training and my agent called me saying that there’s a team that wants you now, and to leave as in tomorrow,” Mayo said as reported by iDiski Times.
“So, I was like, ‘Let me think about it, give me a few minutes, I’ll think about it’. But I also wanted a challenge.
“I wanted to challenge myself. I said okay, this is an opportunity to go out of South Africa, to get a better opportunity, and also the history of the club — playing CAF Champions League, and they were in the second round of the Champions League," he continued.
“I told myself I wanted to play in the Champions League and I got the opportunity to play in the Champions League. It’s a dream come true. It’s not easy to qualify for the Champions League.
“And… after we’ve submitted the documents and then an hour later, Chiefs came knocking interested in me. And they were willing to meet the asking demands of Mr [John] Comitis," he added.
“Unfortunately, I had signed the contract and sent it back to Belouizdad. But, yeah, it makes me proud.
“I said to my father once I wish I could finish what you have started, to go play for Kaizer Chiefs.”
