By strengthening their playing unit, the Brazilians are sending a clear message to their rivals that they mean business. So far, the Tshwane giants have confirmed the signing of Brayan Leon from Colombia and Monnapule Saleng from Orlando Pirates. The signing of the Bafana defender means there will be no void left in the defensive department after Lucas Suarez's exit.

The Tshwane giants have confirmed a new signing just days after a shocking transfer that saw them bring on board Monnapule Saleng from Orlando Pirates. The South American star is a 20-goal contribution forward, and this is a statement signing by the Premier Soccer League giants. This is another asset added to Masandawana's attacking department as they chase more titles.

The current Masandawana coach appears to be under immense pressure, with his team looking less convincing this season. That has sparked rumours that he might not see out the campaign as the club’s bosses are said to be weighing up bringing in a coach capable of rescuing their waning fortunes. Changes to the technical team at Chloorkop would not come as a surprise anytime soon.

The 26-year-old has become another Mamelodi Sundowns player to have his loan spell cut short, either because of limited game time or the parent club’s desire to have him back. This follows the release of fellow loanee Matías Esquivel by Greek side AE Kifisia after his stint abroad failed to gain momentum. Closer to home, Khulumani Ndamane is also reported to be on his way out of TS Galaxy, having been loaned out shortly after signing for Masandawana.

Should the two parties reunite, it will represent one of the biggest sporting reunions in the country's history. It is the South African tactician that helped the Pretoria giants develop into one of the most successful outfits, but their separation was a controversial one. However, going by reports, it seems the two parties are ready to bury the hatchet and work together again.
