"The boy is a product of Chiefs' development and a move back to Gauteng for him can't be ruled out. But for now, he has a contract with Stellenbosch and he is doing well. He is grateful for the opportunity that he has got at the club and is committed to honouring it by giving his best with every opportunity he gets to play," the source added.
