BIG MOVE Sipho Mbule could transfer from Mamelodi Sundowns to Kaizer Chiefs, despite past disciplinary issues, as confirmed by his agent Mike Makaab. Picture: Samuel Shivambu/BackpagePix
However, that does not seem to have deterred interest from the Soweto Giants.
Reports said that Mbule attended training while under the influence of alcohol.
The 27-year-old left Sundowns after he was loaned out to Sekhukhune United , as the deal was terminated early due to disciplinary issues.
Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Sipho Mbule could be making a move to Kaizer Chiefs , the player's agent Mike Makaab confirmed on social media on Sunday evening.

Sipho Mbule Offered to Kaizer Chiefs: Agent Makaab Clarifies Transfer Details
"Let me set the record straight. Sipho Mbule has been offered to Kaizer Chiefs," Makaab said on X.
"It is up to the club to make the decision and we need to respect that decision.'
Of course, Makaab would like a transfer to a big club for his player but he insisted he was remaining objective by sharing the information.
"Kaizer Chiefs is a professional football club and their decisions will be based on what they think is best for the club. I am not trying to influence anything.
'Realistically, no matter what I say, I will never please everyone. My job is to do the best for my clients while respecting the football clubs I deal with.'
Last week, Chiefs announced the departure of Chivaviro, who has left the club with immediate effect.
The forward joined Chiefs in June 2023, and the club chose not to extend his two-year contract.
In total, Chivaviro has made 45 appearances for Chiefs while scoring nine goals.
Chivaviro did not reach his full potential with Chiefs, as he struggled with injury during the 2023/2024 season.
Chiefs completed another deflating season in the Betway Premiership as they ended ninth, their second league campaign in a row in which they finished outside the top eight.

Former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana star spotted at new club

Former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana star defender Njabulo Ngcobo has reportedly been spotted at a new club. Ngcobo recently parted ways with Sekhukhune United where he only lasted for a season. Now, according to iDiski Times , Ngcobo is currently in the Mother City to try his luck with Cape Town City. Cape Town City appear likely to be preparing for life in the Motsepe Foundation Championship. This despite their recent fight to have Marumo Gallants docked points so that they can return to the Betway Premiership. As things stand, Gallants remain in the Betway Premiership after the PSL DC slapped them with just a R200 000 fine. Now, having already lost a few of their senior players, including Thabo Nodada, City could well benefit from Ngcobo's experience. Ngcobo was named the best defender in the league during the 2021-22 season, before he signed for Chiefs where he made 45 appearances during his three-year stint. He spent a few weeks with Chippa United in the hope of securing a deal, but the lanky defender is now in Cape Town. Njabulo Ngcobo during his time with Kaizer Chiefs.

'Latest update received by iDiski Times is that Ngcobo stopped training with Chippa United a few days ago and is currently in the Mother City to try it out at the Citizens under the watchful eye of head coach Jan Vreman and his technical team.'
