• Mkhanyiseli Siwahla, who made his name at Ajax Cape Town, alleged that the club blocked his desired move to Kaizer Chiefs 12 years ago

Mkhanyisile Siwahla is approaching the end of his career at ease with how it panned out.

The former Ajax Cape Town has landed at ABC Motsepe League side Bokone FC in the North West. The 34-year-old had at one point retired during his tumultuous career before having his mind changed by one who is close to him.

According to the Daily Sun, Siwahla nearly committed suicide because of fan criticism during his Ajax days, as well as an official at the club who he alleged blocked his dream move to Kaizer Chiefs in 2010 when he was in hot demand. He added that the said official even threatened to close doors open to him throughout the country.

Siwahla added regarding his suicidal thoughts:

"I realised everything was against me. With all things closed for me, I realised I had to be close to God to understand why all these bad things are happening to me.

"I found myself stranded. I booked myself into a room but still struggled to get employment."

Mixed reactions to Kermit Erasmus going to Orlando Pirates from Mamelodi Sundowns amid Kaizer Chiefs' interest

Local football continues to shake following Kermit Erasmus' latest move.

The 32-year-old striker has returned to Orlando Pirates after being given the green light by Mamelodi Sundowns, where he was completely out of favour. Erasmus had also been strongly linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs, but it turns out the Amakhosi cooled their interest in him.

Erasmus departed the Buccaneers for French club Rennes after a successful stint between 2013 and 2016. The 32-year-old centre-forward made 80 appearances for the Buccaneers between 2013 and 2016, scoring 21 times for the Soweto giants.
