The 20-year-old defender has now scored twice for his club as he continues to stamp his authority as a first-team player. Amakhosi loaned him out with the specific reason of helping him earn more playtime, something that he would not have had were he to stay put at Naturena.

In a bid to seek stronger ties outside the country, the Glamour Boys have entered into a partnership with the clubs. It is expected that Amakhosi players will be the greatest beneficiaries of these deals. Already, the Soweto giants have sent some of their young talents out in order to help them gain first-team experience.

The Amakhosi starlet becomes another talent from the country to cross the border and join his international counterpart. Coincidentally, the club is owned by an Amakhosi legend, and the move by the youngster represents a connection of some sort between the club and the Soweto giants.

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. However, others like Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Wandile Duba cannot be ruled out from improving to fulfil the promise they showed.
