Rob Benadie SFC and SAS CEO ????️: “It is regrettable that the dissemination of false information circulates the media with regards to our club rumoured to having approached Gavin Hunt.

Hunt will be free at the end of the season after new Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila, who confirmed that they have purchased the top-flight status of Wits, announced that they will not retain Hunt because they cannot afford him.
