Mamelodi Sundowns defender Terrence Mashego joins Stellenbosch on loan

The 28-year-old Bafana Bafana international joined the Brazilians in 2022 from Cape Town City, having previously turned out for Mthatha Bucks and TS Galaxy.

He spent last season on loan at Durban City, where he was part of the team that won the Nedbank Cup.

A club statement read: "Stellenbosch Football Club is delighted to announce the acquisition of defender Terrence Mashego on a season-long loan from Mamelodi Sundowns.

"Stellenbosch FC has bolstered its defence by completing the signing of Bafana Bafana international Terrence Mashego from Mamelodi Sundowns, with the left-back joining on loan for the duration of the 2026-27 campaign.

"Mashego arrives in Stellenbosch on the back of a successful loan spell with Durban City, where he was part of the squad that won the Nedbank Cup last season – his second triumph in the competition after previously being crowned champion with TS Galaxy in 2019.

"The 28-year-old also boasts an African Football League and three Betway Premiership titles to his name from his spell with Sundowns, and was part of the Bafana Bafana squad that finished third at the 2023 CAF Africa Cup of Nations."

Stellenbosch FC CEO Rob Benadie added: "Terrence is a player who has competed at the highest level on both the domestic and international stages, and we believe he has the ability and quality to add significant value to our squad.

"We are delighted to welcome him to the Club."

Mashego joins fellow new signings George Matlou, Tlakusani Mthethwa, Sinoxolo Kwayiba, Thabiso Lebitso, Kyle Jurgens and Darrel Matsheke at Stellies ahead of the new campaign.
