According to a Phakaaahi report, Sifiso Hlanti could leave the Glamour Boys when his contract expires in June 2024.

HLANTI IS OUT OF FAVOUR AND OUT OF CONTRACT IN 2024
Sifiso Hlanti was the first-choice left-back at the start of this campaign. However, since a return to fitness for Edmilson Dove, the Mozambican has usurped veteran Hlanti in the side.
“According to a source in the know, Chiefs have been keeping tabs on Fawaaz Basadien from Stellenbosch FC and are planning to make him an offer once the current campaign wraps up,” reports Phakaaathi.
“Stellenbosch has given the nod to sell Fawaaz Basadien to Kaizer Chiefs when the season ends.
“Basadien is being lined up as the replacement for Sifiso Hlanti, as the coaching crew has decided not to renew his contract come June.”
