This would be an interesting deal from Chiefs because they already have plenty of options in the wide areas, having even signed the likes of Pule Mmodi and Tebogo Potsane to compete with Keagan Dolly, Ashley du Preez, Mduduzi Shabalala and Christian Saile to name but a few. For many, it is clear that Amakhosi need an option upfront as their strikers have not had the desired effect. Makgalwa does not seem to fit that mould.
