Sekhukhune United embarks on major growth journey with 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.
Sekhukhune United Football Club is charting an exciting new chapter in its development, with major investments aimed at elevating its status and competitiveness in South African football.
During a strategic partnership unveiling on July 14 at the Southern Sun Rosebank, club chairperson Simon Malatji revealed that Babina Noko has acquired 8ha of land in Midrand. The project, with a projected investment of R30m, is aimed at achieving a level of competitiveness comparable to that of Kaizer Chiefs Village in Naturena, Johannesburg.

Malatji emphasised the significance of this development, stating: “The land has existing structures, which are quite huge and are undergoing renovations. In that regard, we are utilising that one, to reduce costs and renovate the building. The estimate suggests, to be competitive like Chiefs, will be around R30m.”
As part of its ambitious vision for the upcoming 2025/26 Betway Premiership season, the club also revealed another major development. 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.
The Department of Sport, Arts, and Culture Limpopo MEC, Jerry Maseko, was also present at the ceremony. “This collaboration promises to enhance sport excellence, promote economic growth, and foster social cohesion.”
