The South African footballer was released by Tunisian side Esperance in September after mutually agreeing to terminate his contract. Chiefs announced his signing this week and offered the winger a free transfer. Mokwana, who is wearing the number 14 jersey at the club, told the Chiefs official website that joining Kaizer Chiefs has been a \"dream come true\" for him. He revealed that he had always supported the team and had missed out on the chance to join the club in 2024 when he left Sekhukhune United for Esperance. Mokwana shared that he was sitting with his sisters when he called his mother to share the good news, expressing his happiness and excitement about joining the team. He added that Chiefs has become a place with good people, and he is thrilled to be a part of the Kingdom.",
