DAVEYTON, SOUTH AFRICA – The long-anticipated “Gold and Black” revolution in women’s football has finally arrived. On March 31, 2026, Kaizer Chiefs officially launched their women’s senior team, Kaizer Chiefs Ladies, marking a monumental shift for both the Amakhosi brand and the broader South African football landscape.
The launch, held in the vibrant heart of Daveyton, was more than just the unveiling of a new team—it was a celebration of strategic vision and investment. Leading the event was the announcement of Brima Logistics as the official sponsor of the “Glamour Girls,” a partnership that promises to elevate the team to new heights.
Built on Solid Ground: The Springs Home Sweepers Partnership
Kaizer Chiefs has chosen not to simply buy a spot in the Hollywoodbets Super League but to build from the ground up with a sustainable approach. In a game-changing move, the club has teamed up with the legendary Springs Home Sweepers, a renowned Gauteng-based team, integrating their well-established structure to compete in the Gauteng Sasol League for the 2026 season.
Jessica Motaung, Marketing and Commercial Director, explained the club’s long-term vision: “This milestone was approached with careful planning. We are not just fulfilling an obligation; we’re creating a professional home for women to thrive, compete, and proudly represent the values of this great club.”
A “Move” in the Right Direction: The Brima Logistics Sponsorship
The partnership with Brima Logistics is a game-changer for Kaizer Chiefs Ladies. Founded by Daveyton-born entrepreneur Tshepo Brian Mekoa, the logistics giant will have its branding displayed prominently on the team’s official kit sleeves.
The decision to hold the launch in Daveyton was a nod to Brima’s deep ties to the community, where the company’s founder began his entrepreneurial journey. For Kaizer Chiefs, securing such a prestigious corporate sponsor before their first match is a strong endorsement of the commercial potential in women’s sports.
The Squad: A Blend of Legend and Youth
The inaugural squad of 24 players is a testament to Kaizer Chiefs Ladies’ ambition. Anchored by the experience of former Banyana Banyana star Mamello Makhabane, the team will blend seasoned leadership with youthful energy as they take on the Sasol League.
Under the watchful eye of Head Coach Unathi Mabena and Assistant Coach Justice Khunou, the team will split its home matches between the iconic Kaizer Chiefs Village in Naturena and Kwa Thema Stadium.
What This Means for the Amakhosi Faithful
For the millions of Kaizer Chiefs supporters, the launch of a women’s team brings the Amakhosi family full circle. The “Glamour Girls” are set to embody the same flair, discipline, and winning spirit that have defined the club’s illustrious 56-year history.
As the team gears up for its first league fixtures, one thing is clear: with the unwavering support of a logistics powerhouse and the backing of Africa’s most iconic football brand, the future of women’s football in South Africa has never looked brighter.
