Following stints at United and Royal Eagles, he spent one and a half season in Thanda Royal Zulu.[2] In 2017, Thanda Royal Zulu sold their league license to AmaZulu and wrapped up their operation. Both Royal Eagles and Richards Bay claimed to sign the player. A DRC tribunal ruled in favour of Royal Eagles.[3][4]
Komane went on to Chippa United in 2018[5] and was a regular in the 2018-19 and 2019-20 South African Premier Division.[6] Sports magazine wrote about Komane as a possible replacement for Kaizer Chiefs's Willard Katsande or SuperSport United's Dean Furman.[7] However, he went to the Lamontville Golden Arrows and only played one match during a two-year stay.[2] A good year in the First Division with All Stars earned him a move back to the Premier Division in summer 2023, signing for Richards Bay.[8]
