Kaizer Chiefs loanee booted out by Richards Bay FC!
Kaizer Chiefs loanee Sabelo Radebe has been axed by Richards Bay FC for consistently failing to play competitive matches.
Radebe joined Richards Bay FC in September as Chiefs wanted him to gain more experience at PSL level.
However, the 25-year-old attacker has not been able to do so since his move from Naturena.
Radebe featured in just three competitive matches for Richards Bay FC – all as a second half substitute.
His game time amounts to a combined 19 minutes across all competition – 12 minutes in the league and seven minutes in the Nedbank Cup.
And the Natal Rich Boyz technical team and management felt Radebe was not worth being at the club.
The latest developments mean Radebe will head back to mother club Chiefs for the remainder of the season.
But whether or not Chiefs will keep him beyond June 2025 remains to be seen given that Nasreddine Nabi wants to bring in new and quality players. Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, Sabelo Radebe and Happy Mashiane of Kaizer Chiefs. (Photo by Muzi Ntombela/BackpagePix/Gallo Images)
'Richards Bay FC have cut short the loan spell of Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Sabelo Radebe prematurely, FARPost has learnt,' reads part of the report.
'According to FARPost sources, Radebe is no longer part of Richards Bay FC, with the parties having parted company just before his loan contract was due to expire at the end of the season.
'Radebe was part of a group including Lebohang Lesako, Darrel Matsheke, and Keletso Sifama, promoted to the Chiefs senior team in 2021 under the guidance of Gavin Hunt.'

Sipho Mbule's agent confirms offer to Kaizer Chiefs
Sipho Mbule's name is once again making headlines, this time as his agent, Mike Makaab, confirms that the 27-year-old midfielder has officially been offered to Kaizer Chiefs. Speaking on X (formerly Twitter), Makaab reversed an earlier stance taken in a FARPost article, where he had dismissed reports linking Mbule with a surprise move to Naturena ahead of the 2025/2026 Betway Premiership season. In a sharp clarification, Makaab stated: 'Let me set the record straight. Sipho Mbule has been offered to Kaizer Chiefs. It is up to the club(Kaizer Chiefs) to make the decision and we need to respect that decision.' Mbule's time at Mamelodi Sundowns has come to a premature end. Although his contract technically runs until 30 June 2025, the club decided not to activate a two-year extension clause. According to reports, ongoing concerns about his conduct away from the pitch influenced that decision. Signed in 2022 from SuperSport United, Mbule was once seen as a marquee acquisition for the Brazilians. However, his performances never quite lived up to the hype during his underwhelming stint at Chloorkop. In a bid to rediscover his form, Mbule joined Sekhukhune United on a season-long loan. Under coach Lehlohonolo Seema, he showed early promise, scoring twice and assisting three times in 17 appearances across all competitions. But his return to form was short-lived. Reports emerged that Mbule arrived at training under the influence of alcohol, reigniting the same concerns that plagued his time at Sundowns. Mbule's exit has sparked widespread discussion on social media and among Kaizer Chiefs supporters. Some fans see him as a creative spark the club desperately needs, while others warn that his off-field track record makes him too much of a gamble. Now, with his agent confirming that the ball is in Chiefs' court, the club faces a pivotal decision. Will Kaizer Chiefs take a chance on Sipho Mbule?
