We’re pleased to welcome him back to Amakhosi. He was here and knows the culture and what our supporters expect from our players.”
The signing is seen as a strategic move for a club seeking to rebuild under new technical leadership and improve their standings both locally and on the continent. Maboe’s ability to play across various midfield roles is expected to bring versatility and leadership to the Chiefs’ engine room.
Amakhosi fans have long called for more experienced, battle-tested players—Maboe’s return could be the answer as the team chases silverware after a lengthy trophy drought.
