Buhle Mkhwanazi to return to SURPRISE PSL club after lengthy absence!

Former Bafana Bafana and Bidvest Wits defender Buhle Mkhwanazi is set make a return to football after spending an entire season on the sidelines!

Buhle Mkhwanazi has reportedly began training with a surprise club in the form of SuperSport United and will likely return to the playing field for the first time in almost a year.

Bidvest Wits were sold to Limpopo businessman Masala Mulaudzi at the end of the 2019/20 campaign and number of the star Clever Boys found new homes almost immediately however a handful remained behind at the newly bought side as part of the broader package.

One such player that remained behind was Bafana Bafana defender Buhle Mkhwanazi. Mkhwanazi was one of the star Bidvest Wits players that remained part of the package deal that Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila struck with Bidvest Wits however, the club failed to meet his salary expectations.

Mkhwanazi did not take to the field for Tshakhuma for the entire season and instead, the two were deadlocked in court proceedings over unpaid salaries. He however is now set to return to the PSL!
