Kaizer Chiefs’ attack just got a fresh spark. Asanele Velebayi has joined the Betway Premiership giants and immediately brings options for coach Nasreddine Nabi.
The winger’s arrival at Kaizer Chiefs isn’t just about adding another player; it’s about opening tactical possibilities in the final third.
Amakhosi announced the 22-year-old winger from Phillipi, Cape Town, after a contractual dispute between him and his former club.

“I can play on the right, and as a number 10 as well, but my favoured position is wide on the left as a winger,” Velebayi told the club’s media.

“I started playing football at a very young age, around seven or eight, following in the footsteps of my two brothers,” the new Kaizer Chiefs number 17 added. “My first team was in the township where I’m from, Phillipi. When I was 11, I joined Ajax Cape Town, which is now Cape Town Spurs, and I have been with them the whole time until now.
“I want to thank the supporters for the warm welcome I have received. I really hope we all have a wonderful season together,” he concluded.
