While his name had been linked in the media to Kaizer Chiefs, Richards Bay are supposedly in advanced talks with Katleho Makateng from Lesotho.
Lesotho Defence Force centre forward Makateng was reported to be a Chiefs target a few days ago, but it is the Natal Richboyz who are in advanced talks with the Lesotho international.
Makateng was a stand-out performer for Lesotho during the recent Cosafa Cup in Durban
While media speculated that the Amakhosi were looking to bring the 23-year-old to Naturena, a close source to Makateng’s Lesotho club said that Chiefs had made no contact with the club, only Richards Bay tabled the offer and the teams are in advanced stages.
The KwaZulu-Natal-based side are strengthening their team for the upcoming season as they will be making their debut in the top flight football of South Africa. Bay have already announced 13 news players for the upcoming campaign.
