Stellenbosch FC are set to miss two key players, Thabo Moloisane and Wonderboy Makhubu, for the highly-anticipated Betway Premiership clash against Kaizer Chiefs on Tuesday night at FNB Stadium.
The Winelands-based side will travel to Gauteng to face Chiefs, looking to bounce back from disappointment in the Nedbank Cup. Stellies suffered a 1-0 defeat against Golden Arrows in the Last 16 of the Nedbank Cup at King Zwelithini Stadium this past weekend.
Before crashing out of the Nedbank Cup, Stellenbosch were also eliminated from the CAF Confederation Cup group stages after finishing at the bottom of Group C with five points in six matches.
Having missed the opportunity of finishing the 2025/26 season with silverware, Stellenbosch is aiming to improve its fortunes in the league and climb up the table.
The Gavin Hunt-coached team is currently lying 13th on the league table with 16 points in 16 matches played. They won four matches, drew four, and suffered defeats eight times.
With Stellenbosch eager to finish the campaign in the top eight, they will lock horns with Amakhosi, searching for maximum points away from home.
THABO MOLOISANE AND WONDERBOY MAKHUBU ARE MISSING FOR STELLENBOSCH DUE TO SUSPENSIONS
Stellenbosch will face Chiefs without their key defender Thabo Moloisane and striker Wonderboy Makhubu. The Bafana Bafana defender accumulated his fourth yellow card of the season against Arrows last Saturday, and he will serve one match suspension. Moloisane registered 24 appearances in all competitions this season.
On the other hand, Makhubu received a red card in a league match against Magesi FC last week, and he is serving the last match on the sideline after sitting out of the Nedbank Cup match against Arrows.
The goal-poacher is one of the new faces at Stellenbosch after signing during the 2026 January transfer window from Sekhukhune United on a permanent deal. Before joining the Western Cape outfit, Makhubu spent the first round of the 2025/26 campaign on loan with Magesi. So far, Makhubu has featured in three matches in all competitions, and he’s still searching for his first goal at the club.
