Stellenbosch have confirmed that their star midfielder Sibongiseni Mthethwa will join Kaizer Chiefs on a permanent transfer.
Mthethwa joined Stellenbosch from Venda based Black Leopards in January 2022, and leaves Stellies after making 56 appearances across all competitions.
Stellenbosch FC CEO Rob Benadie said they were left will no choice but to sell “Ox” after Chiefs activated his buy-out clause.
“When Mthethwa initially joined the club, a buy-out clause was negotiated into his contract and that has now been activated by Kaizer Chiefs,” Benadie said.
“It’s always sad to part ways with a player and person of Ox’s calibre but we would like to wish him all of the best in this next step of his career.
“He was a consummate professional throughout his time in Stellenbosch and it goes without saying that his influence on the pitch and in the dressing room will be missed.
“Apart from his on-field contributions, he also played an active role in our communities and must be commended for the enthusiastic manner in which he embraced the SFC family and supporters.
“Mthethwa embodied the values of the club, and we would like to thank him for his immense contributions to our cause over the last two years.”
