He left the country as a teenager nine years ago to pursue a career in Europe.
According to Sinethemba Makonco of iDiski Times, Mayambela is interested in playing for Kaizer Chiefs.
This is the same team he represented at under-15 level.

His preferred team of choice is Kaizer Chiefs.
Currently, he plays for Aris Limassol and has been a valuable player for them this season.
He featured 23 times in the 2024/25 season, scoring four goals and providing five assists.
Career Journey Abroad
Before his European journey, Mayambela played professionally in South Africa’s Motsepe Foundation Championship with Cape Town All Stars.
At 18, he moved to Sweden to join Djurgården.
Since then, he has played in several countries including Portugal, Israel, and Cyprus.
Mayambela has built a reputation as a versatile winger and a journeyman footballer overseas.
Potential Transfer Interest from Kaizer Chiefs
Limassol is understood to be willing to listen to offers for Mayambela.
This opens the door for Kaizer Chiefs to make a move for the Cape Town-born winger.
Given his history with the club and his desire to return home, the potential transfer could be mutually beneficial.
