A compelling reunion and a fresh start beckon for Gabadinho Mhango and Lindokuhle Mtshali, who are reportedly on the verge of joining KwaZulu-Natal's Richards Bay FCfor the 2025/26 season.
Both players concluded tenures with their respective clubs following the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
Mhango was a key figure for Gallants since their inception via the purchase of Moroka Swallows' top-flight status. The Malawian international had a commendable campaign with Bahlabane Ba Ntwa, finding the back of the net five times and providing a crucial assist in 25 matches across all competitions.
However, towards the season's closure, his involvement waned, featuring in only two of the last seven Betway Premiership games.
Meanwhile, Mtshali is also poised to depart Sekhukhune United after just one season, having similarly arrived from the now-defunct Swallows at the beginning of the campaign.
He was struggling somewhat for game time, making only two appearances throughout the whole season.
While the matter was resolved, he did not return to action before the season concluded. Significantly, Mhango and Mtshali share a past, having shared a dressing room at Swallows.
According to the FARPost report, Richards Bay are closing in on the duo ahead of the start of the 2025/26 season.
WHAT THE AGENT SAID ABOUT THE DUO’S LINKS WITH RICHARDS BAY
When reached for a comment, the agent of both players, Mike Makaab stated that there’s “only” an interest in Mhango and Mtshali from Richards Bay, saying “nothing has been finalised”.
“There is interest but nothing has been finalised as yet, but there is interest,” Mike Makaab told FARPost.
