History

The original club was founded in 1937 by dairy workers. The club folded after finishing 14th in the National First Division inland stream in 2002.[1] The club had also been known as Ukhumba Black Aces, Witbank Black Aces and Super Kurl Aces during its existence.

The current club is the second incarnation and they entered the South African football league in 2007 when the Polokwane-based City Pillars league license was bought and the team was transferred to Witbank from Limpopo.[2] The licensed was acquired in December 2006 and the team was playing under the name of Mpumalanga Black Aces in time for the 2007–08 season.[3]

In 2004, two South African businessmen George Morfou and his brother Mario bought the club side Dangerous Darkies, a Vodacom League but the team failed to win promotion to the Mvela Golden League. The Vodacom League team was renamed to Aces Academy in 2007 following the brothers' acquisition and in 2011 was renamed to AmaZayoni FC.

On July 30, 2014, it was announced that Aces had signed a new sponsorship deal with ISPS.[4]

In 2016, John Comitis purchased the franchise rights, closing the club and creating Cape Town City F.C., over 950 miles away.
