Mamelodi Sundowns completed a significant deadline day double, terminating Kobamelo Kodisang's contract and signing defender Wandile Dube to a three-year deal. The moves came just as the Premier Soccer League transfer window closed on Monday, allowing the league leaders to refine their squad for the title push. The club sits first in the table with 20 points from eight matches, holding a one-point advantage over Orlando Pirates.
Kobamelo Kodisang and the club reached a mutual agreement to end his contract ahead of the midnight deadline. The 27-year-old winger is now a free agent and can join any club immediately. Had the termination not been completed, he would have had to wait until January to find a new team. Kodisang's two-year stint at Chloorkop began when he joined from Moreirense FC in July 2024. He made 13 appearances in his debut season, contributing two goals and two assists, but faced injury setbacks and strong competition for places. He spent time on loan at Portuguese side AVS Futebol SAD and later at Stellenbosch FC, where he reunited with former mentor Gavin Hunt. His agent, Mike Makaab of Prosport International, confirmed the player pushed for the termination before the window shut.
Mamelodi Sundowns secured the signature of centre-back Wandile Dube on a three-year contract after he passed a medical at their Chloorkop base. The left-footed defender had been a target for Orlando Pirates, but Sundowns maintained pressure on his former club AmaZulu to complete the deal. Dube was photographed arriving in Johannesburg on Monday afternoon before travelling for his medical assessment. The transfer was officially completed before the window slammed shut, adding defensive depth to a squad that has conceded just seven goals in eight league games this season.
These moves cap a measured transfer window for the reigning African champions, who are unbeaten in their last five matches with a record of four wins and a draw. The club's focus now shifts to maintaining their lead at the top of the standings. Kodisang's departure creates an opportunity in the attacking ranks, while Dube begins his new chapter as Sundowns prepare for their next fixture, an away trip to face Richards Bay on 17 October. The 14th-placed Richards Bay will provide the next test for a squad looking to extend its current form of WDWWW.
