The George-based side announced Mzava’s signing on Monday, though details regarding the length of the contract were not disclosed. However, according to Pan Africa Football, Mzava has penned a one-year deal.
Mzava joined Magesi in July 2024 and played a pivotal role in helping the Limpopo-based club secure their first-ever top-flight trophy, defeating Mamelodi Sundowns in the Carling Cup final.
The 31-year-old centre-back spent just seven months with Dikwena Tsa Meetse before being released in January 2025. After remaining without a club for nearly seven months, Mzava has now found a new home in the Malaysia Super League.
"Say hello to Limbikani Oscar Mzava, the commanding centre-back ready to anchor the Panthers’ defence with strength and authority," read the club's statement.

"Defenders win games too and this one is built to dominate! Let’s give him a proud Penang welcome."
Throughout his career in South Africa, Mzava also featured for AmaZulu, Golden Arrows, Bloemfontein Celtic, Cape Town City, and Highlands Park.
