“We are pleased to announce our signing of Puso Dithejane, who previously played for the Kaizer Chiefs DDC team. Welcome Home Young Rocket,” read a tweet from Galaxy.
Chiefs refuse Dithejane’s plea for his contract not to be terminated
Meanwhile, as reported on the Phakaaathi supplement on Tuesday morning, Dithejane is said to have tried to come to an agreement with the Chiefs not to be released and get an alternative punishment instead for what he did. But a decision had already been made to terminate his contract.
According to a source, Dithejane has become big-headed since being marked as a future star of the team, and his behaviour was becoming out of control.

The 19-year-old defender has been with Amakhosi for a long time, and he seemed on the verge of featuring for the senior team.
“I’m really disappointed with what that boy did, I really am,” said a source.
“The problem with these youngsters is that they feel entitled and they want (us) as parents and coaches to listen to them. Dithejane is so talented.”
