Big news for Amakhosi fans — exciting young talent Thulani Mabaso is stepping up! The 21-year-old academy product and reserve team captain has earned a first-team call-up and is now training with the senior Kaizer Chiefs squad.
Mabaso, fondly known as "Touch" for his silky ball control and left-footed magic, has been turning heads with his performances. During the club's recent UK Tour, he shone brightly by scoring two stunning goals in three matches — one against English giants Manchester United and another versus Leeds United. These strikes came after he had already grabbed a brace in a big win over Chippa United in the DStv Diski Challenge, showing he's in red-hot form.
Spotted rubbing shoulders with the big boys in first-team sessions, this call-up is a huge reward for his hard work, leadership as reserve captain, and consistent displays in the development ranks. It's clear the technical team sees real potential in this central midfielder to make the jump to professional football.
Kaizer Chiefs have a proud history of promoting homegrown stars, and Mabaso's rise highlights that pathway. From joining the academy young to captaining the reserves and now training with the pros — his journey is inspiring every young player dreaming big.
Fans are buzzing: Is this the moment "Touch" makes his senior debut and adds fresh energy to the midfield? The future looks bright for this talented youngster!
