While the transfer window is in full swing, ambitious Sekhukhune United FC have made a significant move to sign forward Sphiwe Mahlangu from TS Galaxy.
The sharp-shooting striker is poised to inject fresh energy and skill into Sekhukhune’s attacking line-up, further enhancing the team’s prospects for a successful campaign.
In its official announcement, the club highlighted Mahlangu’s potential to improve its offensive capabilities significantly this season. Coach Eric Tinkler will work on a strategy to ensure Mahlangu’s attacking prowess will complement the team’s existing talents.
In addition to welcoming Mahlangu, Sekhukhune also announced the return of fan-favourite Wonderboy Makhubu.
The player had an impressive loan spell at Magesi, and his return promises to add both depth and a sense of familiarity to the squad. This duo of new and returning talent stands to help the team hit the ground running as they prepare for a season filled with challenges.
Since their arrival, both Mahlangu and Makhubu have demonstrated commendable fitness and focus during training sessions, indicating they are ready to make an impact on the pitch.
Their commitment to the club’s objectives points to a promising season ahead for Sekhukhune. Tinkler has set ambitious targets of finishing in the top four of the Premiership.
Achieving this goal would secure a slot in the prestigious CAF competitions, elevating the club’s profile on the continental stage.
The MTN8 tournament starts on August 1, 2025. Sekhukhune will be participating in the MTN8 for the second time in their history. They lost in the first round last season to Cape Town City, but hope to do better this season in the opening round against TS Galaxy.
The Betway Premiership kicks off on August 8, 2025.
