According to @UnplayableZA on Twitter, 33-year-old left-back Hlanti has an offer on the table to extend his current deal, which expires at the end of this month.

With Siyabonga Ngezana and Erick Mathoho already having left the club, Chiefs could do without losing another experienced head at the back.
