PSL Shockwaves: Royal AM Loses Crucial Points While Kaizer Chiefs Fans Celebrate Mayele Deal and Incoming Star Winger
The Premier Soccer League (PSL) landscape is shifting once again, and this time, all eyes are on Royal AM as the club officially loses crucial points due to unresolved administrative issues, sending ripples through the standings and providing unexpected consequences for several PSL teams.
While chaos brews in the Royal AM camp, Kaizer Chiefs fans finally have something to smile about, as striker Fiston Mayele is reportedly inching closer to signing, and the club is actively pursuing another talented winger to boost their attack.
Royal AM’s troubles began weeks ago when allegations surfaced regarding player registration irregularities and financial non-compliance with league rules.
After multiple delays, the PSL has now confirmed that Royal AM will forfeit points from recent matches, directly affecting their position in the league table.
This decision comes as a result of the team’s failure to properly meet contractual obligations with players and staff, sparking legal challenges that eventually led the league to impose harsh sanctions.
According to league officials, the deducted points will be awarded to the opposing teams, which includes direct competitors in the relegation and top-eight race.
This development benefits clubs such as Cape Town Spurs, Chippa United, and even AmaZulu, who now see their survival or Top 8 ambitions revitalized due to the shift in points.
For Royal AM, however, the news couldn’t come at a worse time.
Already plagued with internal disputes, inconsistent performances, and off-field drama, the points deduction further weakens their campaign and brings into question the club’s future planning.
Several insiders suggest that the leadership structure at the club may undergo a shake-up, as pressure mounts from fans and sponsors demanding accountability and transparency.
While Royal AM scrambles to repair its standing, Kaizer Chiefs supporters are finally seeing signs of hope on the horizon.
After what felt like an endless search for a reliable striker, the club’s efforts may soon pay off as Tanzanian forward Fiston Mayele has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Amakhosi.
The transfer, if finalized, would see the Young Africans SC star arrive at Naturena in a move hailed by fans as long overdue.
Mayele has been a standout performer in East African football, known for his explosive pace, clinical finishing, and intelligent positioning.
His goal-scoring record in both domestic and continental competitions speaks volumes about his abilities, and many believe he could be the missing piece in Kaizer Chiefs’ frontline.
With the club struggling to find consistency in front of goal, Mayele’s arrival would not only add firepower but also bring a much-needed confidence boost to the dressing room.
Negotiations between Kaizer Chiefs and Young Africans SC are said to be in the final stages, with only minor contractual details left to iron out.
Should the deal be completed, Mayele would become one of the most high-profile acquisitions for the club in recent years—a clear signal of intent as they aim to rebuild and challenge for silverware once more.
But Mayele isn’t the only potential addition in the works.
Reports suggest that Kaizer Chiefs are also targeting a new winger to provide pace and width on the flanks.
The club has been monitoring several local and international prospects, with sources indicating that an unnamed South American winger is high on the shortlist.
The player, currently plying his trade in a lower European league, has impressed scouts with his dribbling, crossing accuracy, and ability to take on defenders in one-on-one situations.
This renewed transfer activity comes as part of a broader shift at Kaizer Chiefs, who are finally taking decisive steps to address long-standing issues with squad depth and tactical balance.
After years of underwhelming recruitment and internal mismanagement, the club’s technical team, led by interim coach Cavin Johnson, has been given the green light to refresh the squad and build a more competitive unit.
Supporters, who have endured a frustrating period of underperformance, are cautiously optimistic.
The potential arrival of Mayele, along with another attacking reinforcement, has reignited belief that Kaizer Chiefs could soon reclaim their place among the PSL elite.
On social media, fans are already celebrating the Mayele news, flooding platforms with welcome messages and highlight reels.
Many hope that the Tanzanian striker will replicate the success of past foreign greats who made a lasting impact at Naturena.
Meanwhile, club legends have also weighed in, urging the management to ensure proper support structures are in place so that incoming players can adapt and perform.
Elsewhere in the league, the domino effect of Royal AM’s point deductions is still unfolding.
PSL analysts predict a chaotic final stretch to the season, with several teams now mathematically re-entering the race for survival or qualification for the MTN8.
The drama has added an unexpected twist to a season already packed with surprises.
As for Royal AM, the club now faces more than just on-field challenges.
Legal action from disgruntled players, growing discontent among fans, and increased scrutiny from the PSL disciplinary committee all signal a turbulent period ahead.
The club’s leadership will need to move quickly and decisively to restore stability, or risk falling even further behind.
For Kaizer Chiefs, however, the momentum is building.
With Mayele on the verge of arriving and a second attacking player in their sights, the mood at Naturena has shifted.
The club, once defined by frustration and false dawns, finally has a reason to dream again.
The coming weeks will be critical.
Transfer confirmations, league rulings, and final results could shape the destinies of multiple clubs.
Whether Kaizer Chiefs can ride this wave of positivity to long-term success remains to be seen, but for now, hope has returned—and for many fans, that’s already a victory worth celebrating.
