Former Mamelodi Sundowns winger Kobamelo Kodisang is training with Siwelele FC as he looks to secure a return to the Betway Premiership.
The 26-year-old became a free agent in September after reaching a mutual agreement with Sundowns to terminate his contract before the transfer window closed. He is now being assessed by Siwelele, with a decision expected within the next week.
Kodisang’s representative, veteran football agent Mike Makaab, confirmed that the winger has joined the club’s training programme and is working to regain his fitness and sharpness.
“Kobamelo Kodisang is currently training with Siwelele. He’s getting his sharpness back, and he seems to be very happy,” Makaab told FARPost.
“I spoke to the team today [Wednesday]; they will be doing fitness tests and other things. I’m sure within a week or so a decision will be made, but a good thing is that he’s back and training. That’s what is important.”
Kodisang’s departure brought an end to a difficult spell at Chloorkop, despite the anticipation surrounding his arrival from Portuguese club Moreirense FC in July 2024.
The Platinum Stars development product found it difficult to establish himself in Sundowns’ star-studded squad. Injuries and strong competition for places restricted his opportunities during his first season at the club.
Born in Seraleng, Rustenburg, Kodisang scored twice and supplied two assists in 13 appearances for Sundowns.
He later returned to Portugal on loan, joining AVS Futebol SAD in an attempt to play more regularly. That spell lasted only six months, however, before he returned to South Africa during the January 2026 transfer window.
A move to Siwelele would give Kodisang another opportunity to continue his career in the Betway Premiership. He would compete for places with Sphesihle Jeza, Neo Mokhachane, Blessing Thulo, Christian Saile, Tebogo Potsane, Tendamudzimu Matodzi and Jordan Marks.
Siwelele are currently 14th in the league, having recorded one win, three draws and five defeats. Their next match is an away fixture against Sekhukhune United on 29 November.
The club’s evaluation of Kodisang is expected to include fitness tests and other assessments before a final decision is made on whether to offer him a contract.
