(The Post News)– Stellenbosch FC has started a major squad restructuring. This is happening ahead of the January transfer window. They placed striker Lehlohonolo Mojela and midfielder Lesiba Nku on the transfer list. The decision marks a decisive shift in the club’s strategy. Stellenbosch is looking to refine their squad depth. They want to capitalize on market interest during the upcoming window.
Both Mojela and Nku have been instructed to train away from the senior squad while negotiations continue. According to the club, this directive is standard procedure for players who have been made available for transfer. It allows the technical team to focus on its core group while the players seek new opportunities.

Stellenbosch FC is reportedly prepared to entertain offers that meet their valuation. They hope to secure deals that benefit both the club and the players. These deals should be finalized before the January deadline.
Mojela’s Journey at Stellenbosch
Mojela’s time at Stellies has been a tale of two halves. The forward joined from TS Galaxy in July 2024. He made an immediate impact with six early-season goals. This positioned him as a promising attacking asset. However, a damaging knee injury disrupted his momentum. He has since struggled to regain the sharpness that once made him a standout.
Competition is intensifying in the frontline. Game time is becoming increasingly limited. Both parties now see a transfer as the best step forward.
Nku’s Journey with the Stellies
Midfielder Nku, who arrived from Mamelodi Sundowns in January 2025, has found consistency elusive in Stellies’ rapidly evolving system. Despite his strong work ethic and versatility, Nku has managed only two goals in 35 appearances. These numbers fall short of the club’s expectations for an advanced midfielder.
Stellenbosch aims to inject fresh creativity and dynamism into their midfield. As a result, Nku is available for transfer if a suitable offer arises. The decision to offload both players signals Stellenbosch FC’s. The intent is to reshape their squad ahead of a demanding second half of the season. Several PSL clubs are monitoring the market, including Mojela and Nku. They are expected to attract interest especially from teams seeking experienced domestic talent.
