‘Pelembe’ Spotted Training with Kaizer Chiefs First Team in Turkey! In a surprising turn of events, former Mamelodi Sundowns winger Phakamani ‘Pelembe’ Mahlambi has been spotted training with Kaizer Chiefs’ first team in Turkey. The news has sent shockwaves through the South African football community, as Pelembe has been out of favor at Sundowns for quite some time. However, it seems that the player could be on his way to a new lease on life at Amakhosi. According to sources, Pelembe has impressed Chiefs’ technical team with his fitness and technical ability during their training camp in Belek. The 24-year-old winger, who has been capped by South Africa on several occasions, has been training with the first team alongside the likes of Keagan Dolly, Khama Billiat, and Ashley du Preez. Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane is reportedly a big admirer of Pelembe’s talent and is said to be keen on adding him to his squad for the upcoming DStv Premiership season. However, it remains to be seen whether a deal can be struck between the two clubs, as Sundowns are still technically Pelembe’s parent club. If Pelembe does make the move to Naturena, it would be a major coup for Chiefs. The winger is still highly regarded in South Africa and would provide the club with much-needed depth and creativity in attacking areas. Fans of both Chiefs and Sundowns will be eagerly awaiting news of Pelembe’s future. If he does indeed join Amakhosi, it would be a major signing that could potentially shake up the South African football landscape.Kaizer Chiefs have begun their pre-season training in Turkey, led by newly appointed head coach Nasreddine Nabi.

Bongani Sam is the only confirmed new signing so far, while young players Samkelo Zwane, Siphesihle Tati, Nkosana Mbuthu, and Manqonba ‘Pelembe’ Ozoemena will be looking to impress.

His potential has garnered attention on social media, with fans eager to see him integrate into the first team.Kaizer Chiefs fans were treated to a surprise on Monday when Happy Mashiane, affectionately known as “Pelembe,” was spotted training with the first team in Turkey. The 22-year-old striker, who was acquired from Royal AM in the off-season, has been training with the reserve team since his arrival at Naturena. However, he impressed coach Arthur Zwane during a friendly match last week and has now been promoted to the first team. Zwane said he was “delighted” with Pelembe’s progress and believes he has the potential to be a valuable asset to the club. “He’s a natural goalscorer with a lot of pace and power,” Zwane said. “He’s still young and has a lot to learn, but we believe he has a bright future.” Pelembe made his debut for Kaizer Chiefs in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Richards Bay and was a constant threat to the opposition defence. He also scored a goal in the reserve team’s 3-0 win over Altay on Monday. The striker’s inclusion in the first team squad is a boost for Kaizer Chiefs, who have struggled for goals in recent months. Pelembe’s pace and finishing ability could provide the team with the cutting edge they have been lacking. Kaizer Chiefs will continue their pre-season preparations in Turkey until the end of the month before returning to South Africa for the start of the new campaign.
