Soccer agent Sizwe Ntshangase has explained the reason behind the departure of defender Sifiso Hlanti from Kaizer Chiefs, as was reported earlier this week.

Dolly has already been linked with a move to SuperSport United, whilst Ngcobo has already signed with Sekhukhune United.
As for Sithebe, he has touted for a move to newly-promoted Magesi FC.
Ntshangase says Hlanti has already received offers from a few teams in the PSL.
“He had one year option on his contract at Kaizer Chiefs. However, the team did not exercise it.
“We’re talking to a few teams. He should be remaining in the PSL [topflight] next season,” Ntshangase tells KickOff.
The 34-year-old left-back made 24 appearances across all competitions at Amakhosi this past season, scoring one goal in the DStv Premiership.
He has also featured for the likes of Moroka Swallows, Bidvest Wits, AmaZulu FC and Golden Arrows, among teams in the PSL.
