Brian Mandela: Why staying in South Africa makes sense amid contract end at Mamelodi Sundowns
Mandela may stay in the South African Premier Soccer League despite his contract ending with Mamelodi Sundowns.
Despite training under renowned coach Gavin Hunt at SuperSport, Mandela did not secure a contract with the team which opened the door for Stellenbosch FC to swoop in.
Stellenbosch FC is gearing up for the Dstv Premiership, which kicks off on September 14, and the club is expected to unveil Mandela as their latest signing before the season begins.
The acquisition of Mandela is seen as a strategic move by Stellenbosch, especially with the departure of Ismael Toure, who is reportedly moving to Kaizer Chiefs.
