Kobamelo Kodisang Awaits Mamelodi Sundowns Decision as Future Remains Uncertain
Kobamelo Kodisang’s future remains one of the biggest talking points ahead of the new football season, with his representatives eager to receive clarity from Mamelodi Sundowns regarding the next stage of his career. After spending the past campaign on loan at two different clubs, the talented winger is now waiting to learn whether he still has a future at the Tshwane giants or whether a move elsewhere will be arranged. His management team has already opened discussions with Sundowns in the hope of reaching a decision without unnecessary delays. Both the player and those representing him are keen to avoid prolonged uncertainty as preparations for the upcoming season gather pace. A quick resolution would allow Kodisang to focus fully on his football and settle into the right environment before the new campaign begins.
Kodisang began last season on loan at Portuguese side AVS, where he gained valuable experience in European football during the first half of the campaign. He later returned to South Africa after securing a short-term loan move to Stellenbosch FC from Mamelodi Sundowns. The move gave him an opportunity to continue playing regularly in the Premier Soccer League while remaining under contract with Sundowns. However, the loan agreement between Sundowns and Stellenbosch officially comes to an end on the final day of June, meaning the player must now report back to his parent club unless another agreement is reached. With the loan period over, attention has shifted entirely to what Sundowns intend to do with the former South African youth international.
Player agent Mike Makaab has confirmed that discussions have already taken place with Mamelodi Sundowns regarding Kodisang’s situation. According to Makaab, he is still waiting for a formal response from the club but remains hopeful that a final decision will be made soon. He explained that the main objective is to understand the club’s intentions so that everyone involved can move forward with certainty. The coming days are expected to be important as the parties involved continue communicating in search of a solution. Reaching a conclusion early in the transfer window would benefit both the player and the club as they plan for the upcoming season.
Reports indicate that Kodisang is currently not part of head coach Miguel Cardoso’s plans for the new campaign. If that remains the case, Sundowns will have to decide whether to send him out on loan once again or negotiate a permanent transfer to another club. Sources close to the situation suggest that Kodisang and his representatives would welcome a permanent move if it offers greater long-term stability. After spending time at different clubs over the past season, the player is believed to prefer establishing himself at one team where he can build consistency and continue his development. Regular game time and a settled environment are viewed as important factors for the next phase of his career.
While Kodisang’s future remains unresolved, Sundowns are also evaluating the situations of several other players returning from loan spells. Winger Thapelo Maseko is another player whose future is under consideration after spending the second half of last season on loan at AEL Limassol in Cyprus. Maseko impressed during his time with the Cypriot club and still has two years remaining on his contract with Sundowns. His performances have added another layer to the club’s decision-making process as they assess their squad ahead of the new season. The coaching staff and management are expected to review several returning players before finalising the squad for the upcoming campaign.
Other players are also facing uncertain futures at Chloorkop following loan spells elsewhere. Aphelele Teto, Jody Ah Shene, Ricardo Goss and Asekho Tiwani are reportedly not expected to feature in Sundowns’ first-team plans next season. Their situations highlight the competitive nature of the squad, where breaking into the starting lineup remains a difficult challenge. Sundowns continue to boast one of the deepest squads in South African football, making it necessary for the club to carefully manage player movements through transfers and loan agreements. Decisions on these players will likely be made as the transfer window progresses.
For Kobamelo Kodisang, the next few days could prove decisive in shaping the direction of his career. A clear response from Mamelodi Sundowns would allow all parties to plan with confidence and avoid another period of uncertainty. Whether the outcome is another loan move or a permanent transfer, the player’s priority appears to be securing a stable opportunity where he can play regularly and continue developing his talent. Sundowns also have an important decision to make as they balance squad depth with the ambitions of players seeking consistent first-team football. Supporters will now wait to see whether Kodisang’s next chapter will unfold at Sundowns or at a new club where he can establish himself for the long term.
