Tshabalala not joining Cape Town City in the off-season

Following Cape Town City owner John Comitis publicly revealing their interest to ‘break the bank’ to bring Tshabalala to Cape Town in the off-season, the Chiefs captain’s agent has dismissed the possibility of him moving to the Citizens from Amakhosi.

“This report about Shabba and Cape Town City is a joke. It won’t happen. Shabba is happy at Chiefs,” Mahlakgane told Isolezwe.

“So there’s no reason for him to leave. I don’t think Chiefs will even entertain City’s bid for Shabba.”

Shabba is known in footballing circles and has played more than 100 games for Chiefs since signing from Free State Stars a decade ago, winning every major domestic trophy, including two Premiership titles.
