The 20-year-old forward was instrumental in the club’s successful push for a place in South Africa’s top division ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. The junior South African international maintained impressive form throughout the 2025/26 season in the second tier.
Despite enjoying a productive spell away from Naturena Village, the attacker has no desire to spend another campaign out on loan.
Mkhawana believes he is ready to contribute to the Glamour Boys’ senior side if handed an opportunity by the coaching staff. According to him, the experience gained at Kruger United has prepared him to compete at a higher level with Chiefs.

“I gained valuable experience during my time at Kruger because I was competing alongside older and more experienced players. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to improve every single day.
