Sekhukhune United reportedly agree deal for Stellenbosch striker Lehlohonolo Mojela

Babina Noko moved swiftly to secure the services of the 27-year-old forward after he was made available on the transfer market, with Stellenbosch placing both Mojela and winger Lesiba Nku on their transfer list in November last year.

Mojela joined the Cape Winelands outfit from Casric Stars in July 2024 and went on to make 24 appearances across all competitions. During his stint at Stellies, the striker found the back of the net six times and provided one assist, showing flashes of his ability despite limited opportunities in a competitive squad.

His departure continues a period of transition for Stellenbosch, who have already lost influential striker André de Jong to Orlando Pirates, as well as head coach Steve Barker, who recently took up a new role with Tanzanian giants Simba SC.

For Sekhukhune United, the acquisition of Mojela is seen as a statement of intent as they continue to push near the summit of the Betway Premiership.

The Limpopo-based side currently sit third on the table with 25 points from 13 matches and remain firmly in the title conversation.

With his physical presence and eye for goal, Mojela is expected to add depth and competition to Sekhukhune's attacking options, potentially playing a key role as the season enters a decisive phase.
