This is because both men have fallen out of favour with Arthur Zwane. Now, they are both no longer first, or even second choice. In Mathoho’s case, Zitha Kwinika, Siyabonga Ngezana and Edmilson Dove are preferred up front.

While Billiat sits behind the likes of Caleb-Bonfils Bimenyimana, Christian Saile Basomboli, Mduduzi Shabalala, Ashley Du Preez and Keagan Dolly. Unfortunately, new players have come in while Billiat and Mathoho have battled for form and spent large parts of the season out injured.

Amakhosi already have a packed midfield with Yusuf Maart, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, Samkelo Zwane and Siyethembe Sithebe preferred in the midfield.

Meaning, for Nange and Alexander, a move is key to their futures if they are to earn regular playing time.
