Stellenbosch FC have shockingly parted ways with an ex-Kaizer Chiefs midfielder as they prepare for the second round of the 2023/24 DStv Premiership campaign.
Stellenbosch have had an impressive first half of the season which saw them win the inaugural 2023 Carling Knockout Cup.
The Western Cape-based outfit has also been in impressive form in the league and they sit fourth on the log. In 15 matches, they have won eight, drew twice and lost five times.

In the news that came as a big surprise on Monday, Stellenbosch announced they have parted ways with former Chiefs midfielder Kgaugelo Sekgota.
The speedy winger joined the Steve Barker-coached team at the start of the season on a free transfer parting ways with the Chiefs.
Sekgota had a slow start to life at Stellenbosch after scoring only one goal in his 17 appearances in all competitions.
“Stellenbosch Football Club can confirm that the Club has parted ways with Kgaogelo Sekgota with immediate effect,” the club announced in a statement.
“Sekgota joined the club at the start of the current campaign and made 17 appearances across all competitions, helping the team win the 2023 Carling Knockout trophy in the process.
“We would like to thank him for his service over the last six months and wish him well in his future endeavours.”
The 26-year-old winger struggled to cement a regular starting berth at the Winelands after facing tough competition.
Sekgota was competing with Genino Palace, Antonio Van Wyk, Andre De Jong, and Devin Tutus in the attacking midfield position.
Meanwhile, Stellenbosch will resume the second half of the campaign with a clash against AmaZulu FC on Tuesday, 13th of February at Danie Craven Stadium.
