‘Kaizer Chiefs signing Khanyisa Mayo is nepotism! He is weapon formed against Amakhosi’

Kaizer Chiefs officially confirmed the arrival of Khanyisa Mayo on a permanent deal from CR Belouizdad.

The striker had initially been signed on loan and went on to play 15 games for Amakhosi across all competitions, and managed just two goals in the process. The Glamour Boys faithful didn’t see the best of the 26-year-old owing to recurring injuries.

Despite the struggles, the Soweto giants have made a decision to stick with the Bafana Bafana international beyond the 2025/26 season.

Have a look at what the fans have said as sampled by Afrik-Foot.

Kaizer Chiefs will always be Kaizer Chiefs

Play Khanyisa Mayo as a right winger, not as a forward, then you shall see what he’s capable of –  Theo Mosegedi 

Kaizer Chiefs will always be Kaizer Chiefs! They will never disappoint – Ndlubu Ezamila Emthondweni Bhungane

This is a nepotism signing if we’re being honest. I doubt if he weren’t a club legend’s son, they’d have gone for him this season – Sanaii Manong III 

This one deleted Pule Mmodi’s goal last year. A weapon formed against Kaizer Chiefs – Blxck Barbie Priyanka

It seems like at Chiefs, to get space to play, your father must have played there. Imagine signing Mayo for a permanent deal –  Amo Amza

Mmodi is better than Mayo

Pule Mmodi is better than Mayo, but he (Mmodi) was given a few months, a one-season contract – Neo Mokgosi

The boy just needs a coach like Benni McCarthy who would teach him how to be clinical and deadly as a striker. Nonetheless, he is a good player – Lotanang Morota 

When introduced to players last season, you would swear he was Erling Haaland. The walk, the ego, the aura – Simphiwe Njotini 

What has Khanyisa Mayo done in his loan move to earn a permanent deal? – Bhud Ntando

If this time he can be the Khanyisa Mayo we know, I trust him; we can get something. The problem last season was that he was trying to be Lionel Messi – Zwelakhe Mzileni
