Sekhukhune United sets ambitious goals with R30m land acquisition in Midrand
The club's chairperson, Simon Malatji, expressed optimism about the club’s strategic moves, emphasising that the R30m investment in facilities is geared towards making Sekhukhune United competitive.
The projected investment of R30m is aimed at achieving a level of competitiveness comparable to that of Kaizer Chiefs’ Village in Naturena, Johannesburg.
“The land has existing structures,” said the club’s chairperson, Simon Malatji, “which are quite huge and are undergoing renovations. We are utilising [those structures] to reduce costs and renovate the building, but the estimate suggests, for us to be competitive, like Chiefs, is going to be around R30m.”
This announcement was made by Malatji during a strategic partnership unveiling with Kelme Sports on July 14 at the Southern Sun Rosebank.

As part of its ambitious vision for the upcoming 2025/26 Betway Premiership season, the club revealed two major developments, the first being the training facility and the second being a partnership with Kelme.
Last season, Babina Noko showcased gear from Kelme, and the partnership announcement confirmed a three-year sponsorship deal with the leading sports apparel brand.
This agreement, presented by Malatji in the presence of a Chinese delegation, including Kelme’s chairperson Ke Yongxiang, officially designates Kelme as the club’s partner for the next three seasons.
