“He is here at the Village (Chiefs headquarters), and we are going about things the right way. We will make further announcements when we have agreed a deal with his club,” Motaung was quoted by IOL.
“But the player has not gone missing from his club. Maybe there was some confusion as the coach (Dylan Kerr) obviously wants to keep the player,” Motaung explained.

Amakhosi were involved in a transfer dispute over Andriamirado “Dax” Andrianarimanana with Madagascan club Fosa Juniors, but the player eventually made his move to the Soweto giants.
