KAIZER CHIEFS TO TRIGGER ONE-YEAR EXTENSION FOR HLANTI

Hlanti joined the Soweto giants in July 2021 from rivals Swallows FC, signing a two-year deal with an option to have it extended by another season. According to SABC Sport, the deadline to activate the clause was at the end of May, a standard procedure for the majority of Premier Soccer League sides. Hlanti is reportedly keen to stay on at Naturena and has entered into discussions with the club over new terms. With Erick Mathoho having left, Hlanti’s know-how and experience will be key in the Amakhosi dressing room.
