Now, insiders have revealed that the technical team has recommended that the player go on loan for next season. Indications are that 'Mshini' is a talented player, but doesn't fit the profile of the player coach Nabi is seeking.
"You remember, they were supposed to loan him out at the start of the season but with injuries and lack of signings in that position they kept him but still he hasn't played that much compared to other midfielders because he is not in the coach's plans. So the technical team and management have agreed that the best solution is to loan him out next season," a source revealed to the Siya crew.

Sources have further stated that Ngcobo's lack of speed in the team's attacking play has hindered his prospects.
"There is no doubt he is a talented midfielder but he is not what the coach is looking for. He is believed to be a bit slow from what the coach prefers. So they want to give him a chance to play at a team where his talent and way of playing will be appreciated. That's why they looking to loan him," the source added.
The 25-year-old was promoted from Kaizer Chiefs' junior ranks in 2017, has played in 98 games for the club, scoring seven goals. This season, however, he has made just four appearances.
