    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Oswin Appollis has been at the centre of speculation, with strong rumours linking him with a potential move to one of the Soweto giants, Kaizer Chiefs or Orlando Pirates.

    The 23-year-old has been impressive for his current club, Polokwane City, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future.

    While no formal move has materialised yet, his performances have continued to attract attention.

    Amakhosi legend Doctor Khumalo revealed that he recently spoke to Appollis about his situation.

    During their conversation, Khumalo asked the young attacker why he had not yet made the switch to Chiefs.

    Appollis admitted to Khumalo that he wasn't sure why the move hadn’t happened but expressed a desire to grow in his career.

    WHAT KHUMALO SAID

    “After one Bafana Bafana game I think it was in Cape Town, Appollis was Man of the Match and I handed over the cheque,” Khumalo said on Soccerzone, as reported by iDiski Times.

    “I called him to the side I wanted to know what’s really blocking him from joining Chiefs. He said ‘it’s not me coach, it’s not me legend. I don’t know why am I not able to join Chiefs’.

    “And I asked him ‘What do you want?' and he said ‘I want to grow’. Grow how because growth can be in different ways.

    “So I asked if he wanted to grow in terms of football or what, and he said ‘Yes, maybe something that can be challenging’.

    “Not taking anything away from Polokwane City but this is a player that at least I did hear what he had to say and I think he would be a good acquisition for Kaizer Chiefs."
