Former Mamelodi Sundowns winger Kobamelo Kodisang has resurfaced at Betway Premiership side Siwelele FC as he eyes an imminent return to competitive action, FARPost has learnt.
Kodisang is currently a free agent after parting ways with Sundowns following a mutual agreement to terminate his contract, bringing a quiet end to what had initially been a highly anticipated stint at Chloorkop.
The talented 26-year-old attacker originally joined the Brazilians in July 2024 in a high-profile transfer from Portuguese top-flight outfit Moreirense FC. However, after arriving at Sundowns, Kodisang struggled to secure regular playing time due to persistent injuries and stiff competition for places in a star-studded squad, among other factors.
In his maiden season with Masandawana, Kodisang managed just 13 appearances across all competitions, finding the back of the net twice and chipping in with two assists.

Following that challenging start to life in Tshwane, Kodisang was sent out on loan in the subsequent campaign to Portuguese club AVS Futebol SAD in search of regular game time. However, his stint with the European side lasted only six months, prompting his return to South Africa during the January 2026 transfer window.
Upon touching down back home, Kodisang linked up with Stellenbosch FC on a short-term move, reuniting with his former mentor Gavin Hunt after the duo had previously worked together at the now-defunct Bidvest Wits.
The speedy attacker went on to make five appearances in all competitions for Stellies before eventually departing the Cape Winelands outfit at the conclusion of the campaign.
Kodisang subsequently returned to his parent club, Sundowns, in the off-season; however, he was forced to train separately from the rest of the first-team squad as his representatives worked behind the scenes to find the best possible solution for his immediate future.

Before the transfer window slammed shut, the Sundowns hierarchy reached a mutual agreement with Kodisang to go their separate ways, allowing the former Platinum Stars utility player to walk away from the club as a free agent.
With Kodisang now free to sign with any club of his choice outside the transfer window, the former South African youth international has begun training with Siwelele in a determined bid to get his promising career back on track.
FARPost reached out to Kodisang’s representative, veteran football agent Mike Makaab, who confirmed that the ex-SC Braga B star is indeed currently being assessed by the Bloemfontein-based outfit.
“Kobamelo Kodisang is currently training with Siwelele, and he’s getting his sharpness back, and he seems to be very happy,” Makaab told FARPost. “I spoke to the team today [Wednesday]; they will be doing fitness tests and other things, and I’m sure within a week or so a decision will be made, but a good thing is that he’s back and training. That’s what is important.”
Should Siwelele opt to hand Kodisang a permanent contract following his assessment, the versatile attacker could inject much-needed top-flight experience and a vital creative spark into the squad as the club looks to climb up the log standings after a difficult start to the current campaign.
Siwelele is currently in 14th place on the Betway Premiership table with just six points, having claimed only one win, three draws, and five defeats in their opening nine league matches.
