Darrel Matsheke, currently with Stellenbosch FC, is poised for a potential move to either Ama Zulu FC or the Orlando Pirates in the coming week, according to sources close to the situation. The 25-year-old defensive midfielder is finalizing settlement details with his current club in Cape Town, with a significant portion of the fee expected to be his two-month salary, which Stellenbosch is anticipated to pay imminently. Two teams in the Premier Soccer League (PSL), including one from KwaZulu-Natal, have expressed substantial interest in acquiring Matsheke’s services, and negotiations are underway with the aim of concluding the deal by week’s end.

Despite enduring an injury-riddled season, Matsheke has managed nine league appearances for Stellenbosch since joining in October 2023, following a spell without a club. He previously embarked on a year-long loan stint with Swallows, showcasing his versatility and skill in midfield.

In a separate development, Elias Mokwana, the 24-year-old winger currently with Sekhukhune United, has emerged as a target for Kaizer Chiefs. Mokwana’s impressive performances this season, tallying four goals and three assists in 15 league appearances, have earned him recognition, including a call-up to the latest Bafana Bafana squad for friendlies against Algeria and Andorra. The former Platinum City Rovers player, who arrived at Sekhukhune United in 2022, has expressed admiration for the Chiefs but also confessed to harboring a soft spot for the Orlando Pirates.

Although Mokwana has long admired the Chiefs, the balance could shift if the Glamour Boys present a compelling offer, particularly considering his desire to secure a regular starting position for the national team. The player’s preferences could play a pivotal role in determining his next destination, with the Chiefs currently holding an advantageous position if they table an appealing proposition to secure his signature.
