Richards Bay FC Signs Former Chiefs Midfielder Sabelo Radebe
Richards Bay FC has signed former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Sabelo Radebe, who has been on the search for a new home after his recent stint with Lerumo Lions. The 26-year-old attacking midfielder will bolster the squad that had a testing run in last season's league campaign.
What happened to Sabelo Radebe?
Sabelo Radebe, a highly-rated product of the famed Kaizer Chiefs Youth Development Academy, was shipped out on a season-long loan spell to Betway Premiership side Richards Bay FC in mid-2025. However, the short-term deal was prematurely terminated due to limited playing opportunities.
Why it matters for Richards Bay FC
The technical team at the Mpumalanga-based outfit will be hoping Radebe's top-flight experience can help the team secure a top eight finish in the coming season. Leicesterford City completed the 2025/26 Motsepe Foundation Championship season finishing 12th on the log table, accumulating 34 points from their 30 matches.
What comes next?
The ambitious outfit will be out to secure, at the very least, a top eight finish in the coming season. KickOff also reports that Marumo Gallants midfielder Dimakatso Mashao is heading on loan to Leicesterford City. As of now, Richards Bay FC is standing 13th in the Betway Premiership with 0 points, and has scored 0 goals while conceding 0, resulting in a goal difference of 0.
