While Kaizer Chiefs were previously rumoured to be the leading contender for his signature, AmaZulu have now emerged as the frontrunner in the race to secure his services.
Mthethwa had a sterling season with Stellies and caught the attention of national team selectors and got a few Bafana Bafana call-ups.
He was recently with Bafana for the Cosafa Cup in Durban where usuthu were said to be keeping a close eye on him.

“They have already started negotiations but it seems they will have to dig deep because Stellies are not willing to part with Mthethwa as yet,” said a source.
Mthethwa is believed to be keen on moving to another team where he will get a new and even bigger challenge. But it all depends on whether Stellies are willing to let him go.
