Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the signing of winger Asanele Velebayi following a PSL Dispute Resolution Chamber ruling that declared him a free agent. The 22-year-old was freed from his Cape Town Spurs contract after the club’s relegation to the ABC Motsepe League, with the panel dismissing Spurs’ attempt to block the move.
Chiefs, who have been tracking Velebayi for over a year, moved quickly to secure his signature on a free transfer. He is expected to link up with coach Nasreddine Nabi’s squad immediately, though he may need time to reach full match fitness.
Cape Town Spurs have slammed the ruling as a “legal and logical catastrophe,” warning it could harm youth development and hinting at an appeal.
Velebayi now begins a new chapter at Naturena, where Amakhosi fans will be eager to see his pace and flair in gold and black.
