Galaxy's interest in Chiefs starlet confirmed as defender dazzles under ex-Pirates coach

Amakhosi have been under pressure to produce players who go on to take South African football by storm. A number of their players have come close to reaching that, while others are still on their way to becoming big. The likes of Mfundo Vilakazi and Mduduzi Shabalala are still on the rise, with a lot of promise in them.

Since he arrived at his new club, the Glamour Boys' loanee has stamped his authority and become a regular starter, and Da Gama has also explained how he has been very helpful for them so far.
