Bafana Bafana winger Elias Mokwana returns to boost Amakhosi attack

KAIZER Chiefs have boosted their attack with Bafana Bafana winger Elias Mokwana.

The 27-year-old Mokwana from KwaMhlanga in Mpumalanga returns to South African football after two seasons abroad, bringing valuable experience from North Africa and the Middle East.

Chiefs confirmed the signing and welcomed him to Naturena.

The club said: “Chiefs have signed Bafana Bafana international Elias Mokwana.

“The talented winger joins the club after gaining valuable experience in North Africa and the Middle East.

“The 27-year-old, who hails from KwaMhlanga in Mpumalanga, returns to South African football after spending the past two seasons abroad following his move from Sekhukhune United to Tunisian giants Espérance Sportive de Tunis in 2024.

“Welcome to the Kaizer Chiefs family.”

Mokwana’s journey has taken him from the local game to some of the continent’s biggest football stages.

He left Sekhukhune United in 2024 to join Tunisian giants Espérance, one of Africa’s most respected clubs.

His time in Tunisia exposed him to a different level of football, where pressure, expectation and competition are part of everyday life.

Now Mokwana is back home and ready to start a new chapter in Chiefs’ famous gold and black colours.

For Amakhosi supporters, his arrival gives the team another dangerous option in attack.

His pace, direct running and ability to take on defenders could make him a useful weapon out wide.

Mokwana has also earned his place in the Bafana setup, with his performances winning him recognition at international level.

His return to the Betway Premiership gives him a chance to reconnect with local fans and prove himself in one of Mzansi’s biggest football environments.

But joining Chiefs also means stepping into the spotlight.

Amakhosi have a massive following and their supporters demand results.

The pressure will be on Mokwana to make an early impact and help Chiefs push for success.

For him, this move is more than just a return to South Africa.

It’s a chance to make his mark at Naturena and win the hearts of the Chiefs faithful.

The KwaMhlanga-born winger will hope his experience abroad now turns into success on home soil.
