Former Mamelodi Sundowns FC winger Kobamelo Kodisang is moving closer to a return to competitive football. According to goal.com, the 26-year-old Bafana Bafana international is currently on trial with Bloemfontein-based side Siwelele FC.
This potential move represents a crucial career crossroads for a player looking to rebuild his momentum in the Betway Premiership.
A Difficult Spell at Chloorkop
Kodisang arrived at Sundowns from Portuguese club Moreirense FC in July 2024 with high expectations. However, persistent injuries and fierce squad competition limited his progress.
During his first full season, he made just 13 appearances, recording two goals and two assists. Subsequent loan spells at AVS Futebol SAD in Portugal and a brief stint at Stellenbosch FC in January 2026 failed to reignite his form.
Eventually, Kodisang trained away from the Sundowns first team before finalizing his departure as a free agent.
The Assessment in Bloemfontein
Now, Kodisang is fighting for a permanent contract. His representative, Mike Makaab, confirmed to FARPost that the winger is undergoing a week-long evaluation with the Siwelele technical team.
“Kobamelo Kodisang is currently training with Siwelele, and he’s getting his sharpness back, and he seems to be very happy,” Makaab stated. He added that the club will conduct fitness tests before making a final decision within a week.
A Mutual Need for Revival
From a broader tactical perspective, this potential partnership makes logical sense for both parties.
- For Siwelele FC: Currently sitting in 14th place in the Betway Premiership, the club urgently needs attacking reinforcements to climb away from the bottom of the table.
- For Kodisang: The former SC Braga B attacker brings European experience, pace, and dribbling skills. Joining a team where he can earn regular minutes offers the ideal platform to prove his fitness and quality.
If Kodisang passes his fitness assessments, his arrival could provide the exact creative spark Siwelele needs to turn their campaign around.
