Khanyisa Mayo: Kaizer Chiefs New Signing Shares Parents’ Reaction Upon Joining Amakhosi
New Kaizer Chiefs signing Khanyisa Mayo has narrated the reactions of his parents after he broke the news of joining the Glamour Boys this summer.
The Bafana Bafana forward is one of the over ten players who joined the Soweto giants this summer and will also join the long list of fathers and sons who have played for Amakhosi.
The 27-year-old was signed on a season-long loan from Algerian giants CR Belouizdad and hopes his performance will convince the Premier Soccer League giants to sign him to a permanent deal.
It has always been Mayo's dream to play for Kaizer Chiefs, as he wants to follow in his father's footsteps.
