Stellenbosch FC Bolsters Lineup with Kaizer Chiefs’ Kgaogelo Sekgota

Stellenbosch FC, a team that finished in the top eight of the previous season, is poised to add Kgaogelo Sekgota, a winger from Kaizer Chiefs, to their squad as they prepare for the 2023-24 PSL season.

The competition among football clubs for top talent is fierce, and Stellenbosch’s ability to secure the deal testifies to their growing stature and ambition in the PSL.
