But when expected to reinforce the defence, the team surprised many when they released Justice Chabalala to Bloemfontein Celtic on loan last week.
“I don’t think he fits the profile of the player that the new coach (Jozef Zinnbauer) said he needs as he reorganises the team. If you check, they haven’t been as leaky since he took over. I believe Msimango and Rae could be the right fit and they are being monitored,” said a source.
