Lakay’s deal with United was set to expire at the end of the season and he had signed a pre-contract with the Clever Boys, but will now move to Wits during the current transfer period, with Macuphu joining Matsatsantsa on a loan deal until the end of the season.
SuperSport confirmed the deal through a statement on Tuesday.
The SuperSport statement:
SuperSport United and Bidvest Wits have made an agreement for the early release of SuperSport United striker Fagrie Lakay.
Having signed a pre-contract, Lakay now joins the Clever boys with immediate effect.
The 21-year old leaves Matsatsantsa with three trophies under his belt and a CAF Confederations Cup runners-up medal in his three-and-a-half-year spell at the club.
Moving in the other direction is Mxolisi Macuphu who will be on loan to SuperSport United until the end of the season.
The 29-year old was recently called up to the national team for the crucial AFCON qualifier clash against Libiya after a very impressive start of the 2018/19 season and will look to recapture that form during his stay at Matsatsantsa.
