The 28-year-old striker has been without a club since leaving French side RC Strasbourg at the end of last season and has been linked with PSL giants Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns.

Mothiba confirmed rumours that he was at Naturena earlier this year, but it was to discuss his future as a middleman for players looking to move overseas.

Mothiba confirms his meeting with Chiefs in the tweet below:

According to FARPost, Mothiba said he met with Chiefs to discuss his new business venture with his agent and brother, and he stated he has recovered from the injury.

Mothiba said:

"We'll scout players in South Africa. We'll look for the best young players in South Africa and tell my agent about them so that we can take them to Europe. It's easy for him to bring any players to Europe. That's why I was at the [Kaizer Chiefs] village; I went there to present the agency and who I'm working with."

Fans want Chiefs to sign Mothiba

Amakhosi fans said on social media that Chiefs should consider signing Mothiba after his move to Belgian side Standard Liege fell through before the start of the 2024/2025 season.

"What a brilliant young man, thinking ahead and creating opportunities for young talent. I wish him all the best."

"Here we go again; all the players will be linked to Chiefs."

Njitap Peter Abel is not a fan:

"He is not a striker we can rely on. He is just an average player."
