MAHLATSE MAKUDUBELA MOVING TO AZAM?
You can tell it’s fully transfers times. Former Orlando Pirates winger Mahlatse Makudubela looks set to leave Young Africans in Tanzania.
The 34-year-old from Vosloorus, Gauteng left South African in July 2023 to joing East African giants Yanga. Despite earning affection from the crowds, the former Orlando Pirates star did not command a starting place under coach Nasreddine Nabi and later Miguel Gamoundi.
According to the latest report, Makudubela has attracted interest from fellow Tanzania Premier League side Azam.
“The 34-year-old ex-Platinum Stars star is currently clubless after his Tanzanian side Young Africans (Yanga) decided against renewing his contract, which is set to expire at the end of the month,” the Citizen reported.
“Now news coming out of Tanzania is that Yanga rivals Azam FC are keen to add him to their arsenal. But Yanga are facing competition from APR FC, who have just appointed Serbian Darko Novic as their new coach,” the report added on the Buccaneer winger.
