Betway Premiership side Stellenbosch FC have announced the signing of Sinoxolo Kwayiba on a permanent transfer from Chippa United ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The 26-year-old striker arrives after two fruitful spells with the Chilli Boys, where he netted 17 goals with three assists in 59 matches across all competitions.
He had joined Orlando Pirates at the beginning of the 2025/26 campaign, but struggled to adapt amid rife competition for a place in the starting XI and matchday squad.
Kwayiba was limited to just four matches in the famous black and white jersey of the Buccaneers, failing to make a goal contribution during his time in Mayfair.
The tricky forward was subsequently returned to Chippa United in January 2026, chipping in with crucial goals to help the team survive relegation last season.
Now, he is set for a new chapter in the Cape Winelands where he will work under experienced mentor Gavin Hunt, having signed a long-term deal with the club.
“Sinoxolo is an exciting player who we have admired for some time, so we are delighted welcome him to the club,” Stellenbosch FC CEO Rob Benadie told the club’s media department.
“He is a proven goalscorer and a match-winner who has consistently displayed his ability to compete at the highest level, and we believe he will be a valuable addition to our squad.
With Stellies looking to stage a respectable finish after missing out on a top eight spot in the Betway Premiership last season, it remains to be seen how crucial Kwayiba will be.
