With TS Galaxy having snapped up the former Kaizer Chiefs DDC right-back Puso Dithejane, FARPost has learnt how the two sides have reached a consensus over the youngster’s compensation.
Dithejane was released by Amakhosi along with former teammate Unathi Mdaka due to alleged misconduct. The duo was said to have refused to be ball retrievers in a match against AmaZulu FC in October.
Further, Amakhosi would only clear the defenders if an R1.5 million fee is paid for each player by the admirers.
Dithejane was then seized by the Rockets a few days after leaving Naturena. However, he wouldn’t be registered before Galaxy compensates the Soweto giants.
CHIEFS RECEIVE PARTIAL PAYMENT FOR DITHEJANE
According to a source close to the Mpumalanga-based side, Amakhosi rejected TS Galaxy’s request to pay the fee in installments for two years.
However, the two sides are understood to have found common ground with Galaxy having already made the partial payment. This would mean they can now add the player to their books while paying the remaining balance.
Dithejane was part of the Bafana Bafana squad that played the COSAFA Cup in Durban in July and was one of the influential players in the Chiefs’ DStv Diski Challenge team. Before he departed from Chiefs, he also trained with the first team, hoping to make his breakthrough soon.
MDAKA RESURFACED AT AMAZULU
Meanwhile, Mdaka, who left Chiefs along with Dithejane, resurfaced at the KZN side AmaZulu FC. He was training with the first team under Pablo Franco Martin before the FIFA recess last week.
However, during the club’s media open day on Wednesday, he was nowhere to be seen in training. This publication understands he has joined the AmaZulu reserve team.
Moreover, according to the insiders, Mdaka might be in the plans of the first team and could make a return to Martin’s side in the second round.
