Former Chiefs midfielder Kamohelo Mahlatsi poised for DStv Premiership return
Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Kamohelo Mahlatsi is on the cusp of a new beginning as interest from a DStv Premiership club intensifies.
Mahlatsi has been without a club for nearly two months since his departure from Chiefs shortly after the start of the new PSL season.
The attacker struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at Amakhosi after spending one season at Naturena.
However, Mahlatsi is now believed to be on the radar of a Soweto top flight side, with a move reportedly imminent.
‘Nyaope’, as he is affectionately known only made seven appearances for Chiefs since he signed from Moroka Swallows at the start of the 2022/23 campaign. He featured five times in the league, once in the Nedbank Cup and MTN8.
The 25-year-old’s representatives are said to be in talks with Moroka Swallows, and a decision on his future is expected to be made in the coming weeks.
Mahlatsi is set to start training with his former team Swallows today [Wednesday, 15 November 2023], as confirmed by his agent Mike Makaab.
In an interview with FARPost, Makaab revealed that Mahlatsi has resurfaced at Swallows and could be closing in on a second stint at the club.

“Kamohelo Mahlatsi will start training with Moroka Swallows on Wednesday,” Mike Makaab briefly told FARPost.
The Dube Birds already have Ntsako Makhubela, Dumisani Zuma, Moeketsi Makhanya, and Tshediso Patjie fighting for the attacking midfield position.
Meanwhile, Swallows have had a promising start to the 2023/24 campaign after winning five of their 10 games in the league. They drew three games and lost twice. As a result, they are sitting in fifth place on the league table with 18 points.
The Steve Komphela-coached side will face Mahlatsi’s former side Kaizer Chiefs in their next match at Dobsonville Stadium on Sunday, 26 November.
It remains to be seen whether the SuperSport United youth product, Mahlatsi will reunite with his former employers.
