The source said:

"Mdu remains one of the top attacking midfielders in the league, and it's just that he has been unfortunate with injuries. A change in environment is what he needs right now, and AmaZulu has shown an interest. In the coming weeks, we will see what will happen regarding the player's future."

Fans are divided over Mdantsane and Kwinika

Amakhosi fans reacted on social media to say Kwinika should be offloaded, while they felt coach Nabi did not give Mdantsane a proper chance.

Selby Dube says Mdantsane deserves another chance:

"But Nabi must give Mdu a fair chance before releasing him."

Sello Ntsamai is a fan of Mdantasane:

"That man is far better than Maart; he's unlucky."

Nick Malaosaid Nabi has failed the player:

"This guy was never given a chance by the new coach, but he was man of the match in PE against Sundowns."

Royal Ke Karma wants both players to leave:

"Let them go fast, so from that 15 million, we can buy Saleng and add some on top of that R5 million left to get Appolis. Then Chiefs will be complete."
