South Africa's head coach has offered clarity regarding the fitness of the Kaizer Chiefs playmaker after he reported for international duty with a lingering ankle complaint.

The Betway Premiership title race may still be up for grabs, but the Tshwane giants are increasingly operating beyond the usual domestic rivalry.

Former Amakhosi tactician Cavin Johnson has thrown his weight behind Masandawana to continue their historic ascent on the world stage. Following their recent success in the FIFA African-Asian-Pacific Cup, the Brazilians are now eyeing a potential blockbuster final against European giants Paris Saint-Germain if they beat the Derby of the Americas winners.

The Brazilians are reportedly working to finalise a late move for AmaZulu starlet Wandile Dube as the transfer window reaches its climax. The Brazilians appear to have successfully jumped to the front of the queue for the highly-rated 22-year-old defender.
