A seasoned Malawian international, Mhango made the trip from Durban to Johannesburg to complete his move, but Chiefs ultimately pulled out of the deal.
The player told FARPost: "It wasn't just talk, but I was about to go to Chiefs, and then things turned around. Up to now, I don't even know what happened.
"But I remember I was at AmaZulu, and I actually travelled from Durban to Joburg to complete the move. I was happy that I was going to be at Chiefs, but then things happened.
"I was looking forward, but at the end of the day, I was disappointed as it failed to happen. However, I am loving the game and the place where I ended up."
Mhango has scored three goals and created one in his 14 games for Gallants this season.
