Mabiliso’s arrival at Naturena also casts doubts over the future of Sfiso Hlanti, especially now that Gavin Hunt has left Chiefs.

Hunt wanted Hlanti to join him at Chiefs so much so that he even invited him to train with the club before being allowed to join Swallows FC.

As things stand, it is unclear as to whether or not Hlanti had already put pen to paper with Chiefs when he left for Swallows just like Phathutshedzo Nange.
