The 25-year-old player joins Amakhosi having established himself as one of the top strikers in the Zambian Super League.
Kambole, who recently helped Zambia win the 2019 Cosafa Cup in Durban, won two Super League titles with Zesco, in 2017 and 2018.
The Lusaka-born player also made headlines across the African continent when he scored a hat-trick in five minutes in a Caf Champions League match against Eswatini giants Mbabane Swallows.
Caf later confirmed that Kambole's hat-trick as the fastest recorded in the history of the continental tournament.
Kambole is seen a replacement for Venezuelan striker Gustavo Paez, who was released by the Soweto giants towards the end of the 2018/19 season.
The prolific forward will compete with the likes of Bernard Parker, Khama Billiat and Leonardo Castro in Chiefs' striking department next season.
