The striker has been suspended by Amakhosi along with Boitumelo Xaba under the suspicion of having shaved some years off their date of birth.
The club's football manager Bobby Motaung insists Chiefs do not want to be associated with the player's involvement in the national team while he is under investigation.
"On October 28 we wrote a letter informing SAFA that players, Boitumelo Xaba and Thabani Maluleki Mthembu have been suspended by the club because of suspected age cheating," he told Amakhosi's official website.
"We are surprised to hear from the media that the player has been called up under Kaizer Chiefs name.
"We never received a letter from SAFA and we would like to put it categorically clear that we are distancing ourselves from this call up."
