The 32-year-old former Orlando Pirates striker was tipped to join Amakhosi when coming to the end of his AmaZulu contract in 2023.
He ultimately joined Moroka Swallows and this season signed for Marumo Gallants.
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.
Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Joseph Malongoane has urged Amakhosi supporters to remain patient with co-coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze, arguing that the pair needs time to understand the unique demands of South African football.
Kaizer Chiefs winger Asanele Velebayi says his early months at the club have been a steady, game-by-game learning process as he finds his feet in the top flight.
Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef has admitted his side continues to struggle in front of goal but insists the team is working hard to solve the problem ahead of Sunday’s clash with TS Galaxy in Mbombela.
Kaizer Chiefs played to a goalless draw against bottom-of-the-table Chippa United in their penultimate Betway Premiership fixture ahead of the AFCON 2025 break.
