Kaizer Chiefs have officially unveiled the signing of veteran left-back Paseka Mako, adding steel and experience to their defensive department ahead of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season. The seasoned defender joins Amakhosi on a free transfer following the conclusion of his long-term stint with Orlando Pirates.
Mako, who is widely respected for his tenacity, consistency, and work ethic, brings a wealth of experience to Naturena. His arrival signals a strong statement of intent from the club’s management as they continue to bolster their squad under the leadership of head coach Nasreddine Nabi.
The 31-year-old from Zebediela, Limpopo, is no stranger to the high demands of top-flight football. During his time at Pirates, Mako was a dependable figure in defence, contributing to multiple trophy-winning campaigns and representing the club on the continental stage. His ability to read the game, recover quickly, and support attacking play makes him a valuable asset on the left flank.
Mako has been handed the number 29 jersey and is expected to play a key leadership role both on and off the field as Chiefs look to build a balanced and competitive squad. His signing also adds depth to a position that has lacked consistency in recent seasons.
The move has already generated buzz among the Amakhosi faithful, many of whom are eager to see how Mako fits into Nabi’s tactical plans. With his PSL experience and disciplined approach to the game, Mako could prove to be one of the shrewdest acquisitions of the transfer window.
Kaizer Chiefs continue to make headlines in the market as they reshape their squad and push for a return to the summit of South African football—with Paseka Mako now officially part of that journey.
