Chiefs appear to be working hard in an attempt to bolster their squad before the closing of the January transfer window, and whispers have suggested Otladisa could soon be in line for a move to Amakhosi.
His ‘stories’ on Instagram have also raised a few eyebrows and his fans have seemingly already welcomed him to the Soweto giants even without an official word.

Otladisa’s agent has now spoken to iDiski Times about the interest in the attacking midfielder, confirming there is a lot of interest in the 25-year-old without giving away too much.
“It is evident that the boy is doing well and there are few teams that have shown interest even though I can’t mention names,” Mbhalati told iDiski Times when asked about the Chiefs rumours.
“There are the offers, even from the big three, but I’m not in a position to say which team it is from the big three, so if you didn’t hear it from me, take it as a rumour.
“What I want now, is for him to enjoy his football for now. I mean the poor boy has been out of the system now, so let’s give him space to enjoy his football without all these distractions.
“Anyway whoever wants his service must contact Marumo Gallants at least at the end of the season, maybe something can be done.
“But for now, I would like him to focus more on playing to assist his team, to get more assists and goals and maybe a national team call up, then we [are] fine.”
WHO IS CHIEFS’ POTENTIAL SIGNING OTLADISA?
He is a Platinum Stars academy product who first tasted professional football at the start of the 2017-18 PSL season.
Otladisa was signed by Mamelodi Sundowns in 2018 and sent out on loan to Platinum Stars as part of his development in the topflight.

The speedy attacker didn’t get a chance to feature for Sundowns as he was loaned out more often due to the stiff competition at Chloorkop.
Otladisa also played for Cape Umoya United and Ajax Cape Town before joining Marumo Gallants after a year without a club.
