Masenamela was fired at Masandawana for off the field misdemeanors while Ntshumayelo was banned after he was found to have used banned substances.

Ntshumayelo however had his ban lifted earlier this year and spent the last two of last season at Baroka FC but he was released when the season ended.

“They are negotiating with Highlanders’ new director Ally Kgomongwe and it looks like they will be signed. They will surely be an exciting addition to the side and could be the highest paid players in the league,” said a source.
