Two former Kaizer Chiefs stars have been shown the door at Stellenbosch FC in the space of a month.
Just a month ago, Stellenbosch confirmed the immediate release of Kgaogelo Sekgota due to off-field trouble.
Sekgota joined Stellenbosch at the beginning of the season after parting ways with Kaizer Chiefs.
And now, another player that recently joined the club from Naturena has also been axed due to off-field issues.

The Cape club confirmed the departure of midfielder Darrel Matsheke after transgressing ‘the club’s internal code of conduct’.
Matsheke joined Stellenbosch in August last year after being released by Kaizer Chiefs.
“Stellenbosch Football Club has parted ways with Darrel Matsheke by mutual agreement after the player transgressed the club’s internal code of conduct,” an official club statement read.
“Matsheke arrived in the Cape Winelands at the start of the current season and made 12 appearances across all competitions, notably scoring the winning penalty kick during the club’s 2023 Carling Knockout victory.“
In other news, two Kaizer Chiefs linked players are set to undergo trials in Europe in the coming days.
Stellenbosch youngster Liam De Kock and La Masia youngster Isa Mangera will be traveling to Portugal for trials.
Both defenders have been linked with moves to Kaizer Chiefs during recent months.
De Kock caught the eye of Chiefs after impressing for the Stellenbosch reserve side while Cavin Johnson is reportedly a major fan of 18-year-old Mangera.

“The players’ Madrid-based agent Mikhail Robertson of Lion Sports Management confirmed their impending travel to Portugal but would not shed any further light on the specifics of the assessment,” the publication reported.
