BREAKING: Former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates Superstar Makes Shock Return to South Africa

FORMER KAIZER CHIEFS AND ORLANDO PIRATES STAR WILLIAM TWALA BACK IN SOUTH AFRICA AS HE SEARCHES FOR NEW CLUB

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – 3 NOVEMBER 2026

Former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates winger William Twala is reportedly back in South Africa and looking for a new club as the experienced attacker prepares for another chapter in his professional football career.

The 36-year-old, who previously represented two of the country’s biggest football clubs, is understood to be exploring opportunities in the domestic game after spending several years pursuing his career outside South Africa.

Twala’s return could attract attention from clubs looking to strengthen their attacking departments with an experienced player who understands the demands and competitive nature of South African football.

The Soweto-born footballer is no stranger to the Betway Premiership, having built an extensive playing career across several local teams, including Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, Chippa United, Golden Arrows and Maritzburg United.

His time at both Chiefs and Pirates remains one of the most notable aspects of his football journey, having experienced the pressure and expectations associated with representing the country’s most supported football institutions.

After leaving South Africa, Twala explored opportunities abroad, including spells with Erbil SC in Iraq and Chittagong Abahani in Bangladesh, while also having a stint in India.

Those experiences exposed him to different football environments and gave him an opportunity to continue his professional career beyond the local game.

Now back on home soil, the former Bafana Bafana international is reportedly interested in finding a suitable club where he can continue playing competitively.

At 36, experience could be one of his biggest selling points, particularly for clubs looking for attacking depth and someone capable of bringing knowledge of the domestic football landscape into their dressing rooms.

Twala has previously demonstrated that he is open-minded about the level of competition, having indicated in an earlier interview that he would consider opportunities in both the top flight and the Motsepe Foundation Championship.

However, his immediate priority will be finding the right environment to continue his career.

For now, there has been no confirmed announcement regarding a potential destination, and no club has officially revealed an agreement with the experienced winger.

His availability could nevertheless present an interesting opportunity for interested PSL and lower-division clubs.

Whether a return to the Betway Premiership materialises remains to be seen, but Twala’s return to the South African football market has certainly placed his name back in the transfer conversation.

The coming weeks could provide a clearer picture of where the former Chiefs and Pirates attacker will continue his football journey.
