According to a Soccer Laduma source, Hlanti will stay in the PSL, while Usuthu has previously shown an interest in his services.

The source said:

“A move to one of the two teams looks set before the end of the transfer window period; though it won’t be a problem with him as he is a free agent, they seriously would want to wrap it up long before the closing day of the registration period.”

Hlanti left Chiefs as a free agent along with new Sekhukhune United player Njabulo Ngcobo and SuperSport United target Kegan Dolly.

Local football fans wished Hlanti luck on social media as he continued his search for a new club, while some fans said Chiefs made a mistake in releasing the player.

“While Kaizer Chiefs misses him day after day.”
