The Soweto giants are understood to have agreed in principle on a three-year deal for the shot-stopper who has been on form for Galaxy despite the team's inconsistent season with the results.
As previously reported by the Siya crew, Bucs have two of their experienced keepers in Siyabonga Mpontshane and Richard Ofori facing uncertain future as both will be seeing their contracts finish at the end of June.
An official word from the club has been that all the players whose deals are nearing an end will hear from the management when the season has officially ended.
Already, both Mpontshane and Ofori have lost the number one jersey in coach Jose Riveiro's line-ups to Sipho Chaine, who has done well since being given a chance to play at the beginning of the year.

With Buthelezi on his way to the club, the team is likely to also keep Kopano Thuntsane as a backup keeper, while a big decision will be expected on Mpontshane and Ofori.
The Nedbank Cup finalists are said to be considering keeping either one or both keepers, although a final decision is expected to be made in the coming weeks.
