Ditlhokwe has captained the Botswana national team aged just 24, and he looks set to be a key pillar for them in years to come. The same can potentially be said for his role at Chiefs. He ticks a lot of boxes and arrives from from SuperSport as one of Gavin Hunt’s most trusted lieutenants with a big reputation. Ditlhokwe is a specialist central defender but can fill in at left-back. He’ll no doubt be motivated, even in a friendly clash, against a team he knows well having spent a year-and-a-half with Rollers before his move to SuperSport.
