Kaizer Chiefs are still firmly keen on signing Khanyisa Mayo since missing out on the 26-year-old forward in 2023.
The former Richards Bay FC and Cape Town City FC star famously joined Algerian giants CR Beloizdad an hour before the Glamour Boys called his agent in September 2023.
With Amakhosi in the market for experienced attacking talent, Mayo’s father, Patrick, has revealed that the Soweto giants called him in recent days.

“Yes, Kaizer Chiefs called me last week to find out if I would give Khanyisa my blessing to join the club,” his father Patrick told Kick Off.
“It is Khanyisa who will decide whether he wants to join them. I told Kaizer Chiefs I would be happy to see Khanyisa at the club because that would be a historic moment. He would be following in his father’s footsteps, and that would make me a proud father.
“But I did make it clear to Kaizer Chiefs that if they are genuinely interested, they should speak to his current club and buy him, as his contract runs until the end of the 2026/27 season,” the former Amakhosi striker added.
JERSEY NUMBER 21 TO HONOUR HIS FATHER
“I told Kaizer Chiefs that they should assign him my jersey number 21 when he arrives at the club, not jersey number 10,” Mayo senior continued.
“They informed me they would get back to me with an update, so I’m still waiting for a response from Kaizer Chiefs,” he concluded.
