The chance for Happy Mashiane to play his old club, Kaizer Chiefs, will not be happening since head coach Godfrey Mosoetsa of Siwelele FC announced that the defender has not yet finished registering with the Bloemfontein-based team.

Fans were wondering whether Mashiane, a former Amakhosi player, will participate in Sunday's Carling Knockout Cup quarterfinal, hoping to see him face off against his former teammates. Unfortunately, his availability for selection is affected by remaining administrative obligations.

Mosoetsa addressed the defender's status, confirming that Mashiane is now practicing with the team but has not yet registered with the club.

"He is still training; he hasn't been signed yet so he's not available but it's things being sorted out administratively," explains Mosoetsa.

According to the coach, Mashiane isn't out with a fitness problem but rather with paperwork to conclude his transfer to Siwelele.

The left defender, who is 28 years old, is no stranger to the club, having spent time on loan from Kaizer Chiefs during the previous season. As Siwelele seek to bolster their team, his expertise in the Betway Premiership might be a significant asset.

Following an amicable contract termination in June 2026, Mashiane's seven-year tenure with the Soweto giants came to an official end.

There were 69 total appearances he made for Naturena in all competitions, with four goals and five assists to his name. Additionally, he participated in the 2021 CAF Champions League semifinals with the Chiefs.

On Sunday, November 8th, Siwelele will face Chiefs in a quarterfinal match at Polokwane's Peter Mokaba Stadium in the Carling Knockout Cup. The match presents a chance for Mosoetsa's team to go to the semi-finals, while Chiefs will be itching to keep winning.

Since Mashiane's possible reunion with Amakhosi has been delayed, he will have to sit on the bench and observe. The completion of the pending administrative procedure by Siwelele is crucial to his immediate future.
