Interest from Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, and Mamelodi Sundowns

Orlando Pirates later joined the race, hoping to strike a double deal that would see him team up with Karim Kimvuidi.

Maritzburg United has set a hefty asking price of R10 million for the promising player, raising questions about its fairness and whether Chiefs, Pirates, or Sundowns will be willing to meet the demand. The fierce competition surrounding Human’s potential transfer showcases the immense talent and promise he brings to the field.
