However, the informant known to The South African, shared his thoughts on the possibility of seeing the fan favourite in the DStv Premiership.

“You know anything can happen in football, but I don’t see it happening at the moment. To be honest, we know Amakhosi like to sign free agents and with respect to them, I doubt they will sign him.
