Experienced Premier Soccer League players Musa Nyatama and Reneilwe Letsholonyane will not be retained by the second division TS Galaxy after completing the acquisition of Premiership Highlands Park activists, SowetanLIVE was informed.
The league is expected to ratify the transaction between TS Galaxy boss Tim Sukazi and Highlands before the end of the week. Sukazi has already started planning the next season with the team after introducing some staff members, including the re-election of coach Dan “Dance” Malesela on Tuesday in Johannesburg.
An insider who attended the meeting said that Nyatama (33) and Letsholonyane (38) will be able to go and join teams of their choice.
“It was announced that some of the players will join the team, while others like Nyatama and Letsholonyane will be allowed to leave,” a source told SowetanLIVE.
High salaries are said to be the factor in Letsholonyane and Nyatama not being retained like Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandilla did with other Bidvest Wits players who said they will not keep them.
Malesela will be introduced as a coach this week, although it is unclear what will happen to Mabhuti Khenyeza as he is still far from his mother, who is reportedly in poor health.
It was also revealed that Thabo Nthethe will be the manager of the team. Once the deal is approved, TS Galaxy will play its home games at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.
“The municipality comes to the party and they will help the team to move forward, which is good for the club,” continued a source.
The Galaxy GladAfrica Championship status has already been sold to Cape Town All Stars, who initially sold the same status in the past.
