Sibongiseni Mthethwa Honored to Have Represented Stellenbosch FC!

Sibongiseni Mthethwa Honored to Have Represented Stellenbosch FC! The midfielder left Stellies for Amakhosi last the week.

Kaizer Chiefs acquired the services of Sibongiseni Mthethwa last week. He expressed his privilege at representing and captaining former club Stellenbosch FC.

The Ox had cemented his place as one of the most talented midfielders in the PSL while at Stellies. His performances also led to a call up to Bafana Bafana.

Thus, this is a place which holds a special place in the heart of Mthethwa.

“To leave a club that has been like a family to me, and to leave people behind who have been like brothers is not easy,” he said, in an emotional statement. 

“It has been an honour to represent Stellenbosch FC and even though I was here for less than two years, I learned so much and grew so much as a man in that time.

“The support from the coaches and the staff, and the wise words and encouragement made it feel like a family, always united no matter what, and always backing each other on and off the field.

“That bond that I have with the team, the fans, and the whole community of Stellenbosch is deep, and leaving something like that behind is not an easy thing.

“Of course, I’m also happy for this opportunity. I’ve been working very hard for the name behind and for the badge in front and if it wasn’t for that hard work, I wouldn’t have earned this move.

“Now people know the name, but I wouldn’t be achieving what I am achieving were it not for Stellenbosch. The things I have achieved, getting a Bafana Bafana call-up, it all started here.

“I’ve always been the person I am, but Stellenbosch added more to me, and the trust the coaches had in me, and the trust to allow me to play with freedom, is what made me the Ox people see right now.

“All in all, I just want to say thank you to everyone at Stellenbosch FC for the opportunity, for guiding me, for being there for me in difficult times, and for being there for my family…” he concluded.

The club will look to replace the midfielder in the course of the season. Sibongiseni Mthethwa Honored to Have Represented Stellenbosch FC!
