Tinkler believes that it’s important to not stand in the way of a player’s career progression and future financial security. Despite losing key players like Terrence Mashego and Craig Martin to bigger clubs, Tinkler remains optimistic that the team will continue to find talented players like Mdantsane.
It remains to be seen whether Kaizer Chiefs will continue their pursuit of Mduduzi Mdantsane, whose contract with Cape Town City expires on June 30. However, the Soweto giants have the option to sign him on a pre-contract deal.
Kaizer Chiefs have already secured SuperSport United defender Thatayaone Ditlhokwe on a pre-contract, indicating that coach Arthur Zwane is already planning for next season. It’s possible that Zwane may still be interested in signing Mdantsane to strengthen his squad.
