After a long-awaited inclusion, the 23-year-old playmaker finally made his Kaizer Chiefs debut just before the Africa Cup of Nations break, slotting in seamlessly and making his presence felt immediately. For Velebayi, however, the road to that moment was mentally challenging — a true test of patience and resilience.

The 36-year-old midfielder made headlines when Chloorkop announced his arrival, as he had been a key player for the Soweto Giants, who were on the verge of clinching the league title. Unfortunately for Chiefs supporters, it was Masandawana who ultimately lifted the trophy at the final hour, with the former Chiefs midfielder part of the victorious team—a development that left a bitter taste for Amakhosi faithful.

The Buccaneers are strengthening their arsenal once again, securing another key signing as they intensify their push for league glory. With Pirates continuing their sweep through Western Cape talent, the Soweto giants are clearly gearing up to dominate on all fronts and leave no doubts about their title ambitions both in the Diski Challenge and in the Premier Soccer League.

The Soweto giants closed off their first half of the Premier Soccer League campaign on Sunday with a frustrating 0–0 draw against TS Galaxy. Despite putting up a commendable challenge throughout the match, they were unfortunate to walk away with just a single point.
