AmaTuks rope in young forward

The University of Pretoria recently signed SA Under-23 player Kamohelo Mahlatsi on a season loan from Supersport United.

Mahlatsi, was part of the U/23 team that trashed Zimbabwe 5-0 last month, to qualify to the U/23 Africa Cup of Nations tournament scheduled to take place in Egypt from 8-22 November this year. He also played a crucial role in Durban where he helped the junior side to the COSAFA Cup, defeating Malawi in the final.

Now in the books of AmaTuks, he will be hoping to keep his scoring form for his club and country.

He is as well expected to miss all of their November matches for his club due to international commitment.

Now back in Pretoria, the youngster will look to boost a somewhat rejuvenated Tuks side that sits sixth on the NFD table after seven games.
