Leshabela signs as a free agent after spells at Leicester, Shrewsbury Town and Crewe Alexandra in the UK.
City take the field at the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium tonight on the back of a 1-1 draw with Chippa United in the league on the road this past weekend.
Looking to return to winning ways, they will cross swords with a SuperSport side that played to a 1-1 draw with Stellies in their last outing.
