Stellenbosch Secure MFC Top Scorer
Stellenbosch has announced their first signing of the transfer window, bringing in prolific striker Muzomuhle Khanyi from Motsepe Foundation Championship side Hungry Lions.
Khanyi joins the Maroons after a standout 2024-25 season where he finished as the Championship’s top goal scorer with an impressive 18 goals.
Although Khanyi’s goal-scoring heroics weren’t enough to propel Hungry Lions into the Betway Premiership, his stellar performance caught the attention of Stellenbosch.
“Stellenbosch FC is delighted to announce that the club has acquired the services of striker Muzomuhle Khanyi on a permanent transfer from Hungry Lions FC,” the club stated in a statement.
“The 26-year-old joins the Maroons after a stellar season in the National First Division, where he ended the 2024-25 campaign as the league’s leading goalscorer with 18 goals to his name.”
This signing signals Stellenbosch’s intent to strengthen their squad after finishing third in the Betway Premiership last season, securing qualification for the upcoming CAF Confederations Cup.
Khanyi expressed his excitement about the move, stating, “It’s an honour to join a club with the winning mentality of Stellenbosch FC. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made in my career to join the club, and I already feel at home. I’m here to learn – I know it’s going to be difficult because I’m new at the club and stepping up from the NFD – but I hope I can continue with the form I showed last season.”
Khanyi will wear the No. 15 jersey for Stellenbosch FC during the 2025-26 season.
