Thabang Sibanyoni weighs his options after leaving Mamelodi Sundowns

With just 10 days remaining on his current deal, Thabang Sibanyoni's future hangs in the balance as Mamelodi Sundowns have yet to trigger their one-year extension option. The 29-year-old striker now faces a pivotal career decision, with multiple clubs circling for his signature.

Loan Spell That Turned Heads

Sibanyoni's midseason loan move to Magesi FC proved transformative—both for the player and the club. His physicality, hold-up play, and clutch performances were instrumental in rescuing Magesi from relegation, with the Limpopo side narrowly securing 13th place in their maiden Betway Premiership campaign.

Coach Owen da Gama was effusive in his praise:
*"He’s an unbelievable target man—dominant in the air, intelligent with his link-up play, and utterly selfless. While not a 20-goal striker, his tactical value to any team is immense."*

Who Wants Him?

• Magesi FC: Keen to retain their survival hero

• SuperSport United & UP-Tuks: Previously showed interest

• Marumo Gallants & Durban City: Newly linked

Sundowns' Silent Stance

Despite holding the contract lever, the Brazilians—currently competing in the FIFA Club World Cup—have remained non-committal. This delay has opened the door for rival clubs to swoop in.
