Arthur Zwane’s side have been linked with Stellenbosch midfield duo Junior Mendieta and Sibongiseni Mthethwa since the beginning of the season.

“So the message is that we are not here to lose our best players.” the Stellenbosch coach said as quoted by IdiskiTimes.
“May be on the odd occasion, you get an offer, we’re not going to stand in the way when a European team comes in for one of our players and he’s got an opportunity to play at a higher level. We’re not that club that will say no.

“It’s been made clear that we must do everything to keep our best players. It wouldn’t make sense for us to go into a new cycle.”
