Rakhale has been linked with a move to Chiefs, however, Mpengesi says Amakhosi have not contacted the club about buying the speedy winger.
“I have been hearing people telling me that Chiefs want Thabo but we, as the club, have not been contacted by any club regarding Rakhale,” Mpengesi told Sunday World.
“I am not selling any of my players, but I won’t be able to stand in their way, especially if they feel like moving on.
“The player we are talking about [Rakhale] still has two years left in his contract. I think he’s still happy to be with us because he has been getting game time, but you cannot guarantee anything in football. We will have to wait and see,” he added.
Chiefs communications manager Vina Maphos said: “Where did you get that? I am not at office but as soon as I have an answer I’ll call you.
“I won’t lie, I have no clue at all that the club wants that player you are asking about.”
