Nabi's update
Kaizer Chiefs fans will wait a little bit before they see their new signing, Khanyisa Mayo, feature for the Soweto giants.
According to head coach Nasreddine Nabi, Mayo may not be involved against Sekhukhune United because the paperwork process is not yet complete.
Mayo joined Chiefs on loan from CR Belouizdad of Algeria and has already started training with his new teammates at Naturena.

Apart from Mayo's unavailability, Nabi has said that there are no fresh injury concerns ahead of their midweek clash.
“I was not in training because I came from Angola to watch the opponent,” Nabi told journalists on Monday.
“I’ll look at the reports today, but I have the group. I don’t have players with [injuries], apart from the players with long-term injuries – Given Msimango and Rushwin Dortley," he added.
“Apart from them, Khanyisa’s registration is not yet ready. But physically he is ready, because three to four days ago he trained with CR Belouizdad in Algeria.”
Kaizer ChiefsMayo's anticipated debut
Fans are understandably eager to see their new player feature for the club, given the potential many believe he has.
Mayo established himself at Cape Town City before he moved to Algeria, but has now returned to the Premier Soccer League.
With his loan deal already confirmed, what remains now is a question of when the striker will start kicking the ball for the Soweto giants.
