Footballerz Sports Marketing director and agent Ntobatsi Masegela has set the record straight on reports linking his client Siphesihle Mkhize with a move to Kaizer Chiefs.

The Sekhukhune United star, Mkhize, has been a key figure in the midfield for the club in the 2023/24 PSL season, securing a regular starting spot.

Mkhize’s performances have fueled speculation about his future, with reports stating that his exit at Sekhukhune is imminent.

The talented central midfielder joined Babina Noko from DStv Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns on a permanent deal in July 2023. ‘Busquets’, as he’s affectionately known, has featured in 29 appearances across all competitions for the Limpopo-based outfit.

Mkhize came through the Sundowns development ranks and was promoted to the first team by the then-head coach, Pitso Mosimane.

The 25-year-old was sent on loan to Ajax Cape Town and Chippa United before committing to a deal with Sekhukhune.

Local media reports have linked Mkhize with Chiefs, but his agent, Masegela, has revealed that no talks have been held with Amakhosi.

“Siphesihle Mkhize is contracted to Sekhukhune United and we thank the club for believing in him. The fact that they bought him out of Sundowns meant a lot about how they rate him,” Masegela told FARPost.

“I mean you can see that the move has worked perfectly for both the player and club. Mkhize has managed to play regular football at Sekhukhune, and you can see how the team is doing.

“And you know when a player is doing well, the so-called big teams are going to sniff around. But I can tell you know we haven’t engaged Chiefs over the transfer of Mkhize.

“However, I always say with all my players, they are ambitious players who are looking to improve their game. So, all the interest in Mkhize has to be directed to Sekhukhune. I’m sure with the right offer, the club give him their blessings.”
