Bafana Bafana hopeful and Orlando Pirates product set to join Manchester City striker Erling Haaland's former club after impressive displays in PSL - 'We are happy as TS Galaxy because we are fulfilling the promises we made years ago'

Tim Sukazi, the owner of TS Galaxy, confirmed in a radio interview that Samukelo Kabini will be leaving the club for Molde in Europe. The 20-year-old has been a key figure in defence since his move from Orlando Pirates in 2023, playing a crucial role at the back.

Sukazi also revealed that two other clubs were vying for the youngster's signature. The Rockets' boss expressed pride in the player’s achievements, emphasizing that his success brings pride to his community. This move marks an important step in his career, as the local talent advances to a higher level of football.

He praised the defender's dedication, noting how his impressive performances earned him a spot in the Bafana Bafana preliminary squad,as announced by Hugo Broos. The former player’s agent also mentioned that the paperwork for the transfer is being finalized. This move represents a significant milestone in the young defender’s career, and the Mpumalanga side is proud to be part of it.

“I’m happy personally, and we are happy as TS Galaxy because of the promises we made years ago as TS Galaxy,” Sukazi told Ikwekwezi FM as reported by Farpost.

“We committed that one day we will send a player from KwaNdebele to join a team in a higher-level overseas league. His roots in KwaNdebele fill us with immense pride, and we are confident he will represent us with great honor.”

“There were two teams that wanted him. We are working on the paperwork so he can make it in time. The window period that side is closing on 27 March,” added Sukazi.

The left-footed defender has spent two seasons in the PSL, making over 39 appearances across all competitions. At a tender age, he has impressed with his maturity and consistency. Born in 2000, he is one of the youngsters taking the league by storm with strong performances week in and week out.

His defensive partner, Khulumani Ndamane, was also named to the provisional squad, showcasing the progress of their partnership. This defensive duo has helped TS Galaxy secure seventh place on the log standings with 21 points. Additionally, the defender has contributed three goals this season. He has only missed two games and played the full 90 minutes in the rest, finishing one game early.

Out of a possible 15 points, TS Galaxy has secured seven in the league in their last five games and in their next clash, they will host a struggling SuperSport United side.

The Pretoria side has failed to win in their last two games, registering one loss and one draw. Beganovic will use the five-day break to recharge his players, as they will not be participating in cup football during this period.
