The DStv Premiership match between Stellenbosch FC and Kaizer Chiefs took place at Athlone Stadium on August 30, 2023 in Cape Town, South Africa. Nhlanhla Mgaga of Stellenbosch FC and Edson Castillo of Kaizer Chiefs were the players involved in the match. A source informed Soccer Laduma that both Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates are interested in signing midfielder Nhlanhla Mgaga. Initially, Kaizer Chiefs had inquired about him, but now both these teams have joined the race, making it difficult to determine who will ultimately acquire him.
Additionally, both Sundowns and Pirates are eyeing other players from Stellenbosch FC, and the club is facing pressure to retain its players. Another source mentioned that Stellenbosch FC is reluctant to let Mgaga leave the club despite the interest from other teams. The club views Mgaga as a valuable player and is determined to keep him, especially as they are preparing for participation in African competitions. Mgaga has participated in 10 cup matches, and his current contract with Stellenbosch FC runs until June 30, 2025.
When approached for comment, Stellenbosch FC chose not to respond. Similarly, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns did not provide a comment when contacted by Soccer Laduma.
