Orlando Pirates legend Tshegofatso Mabasa is heading to North Africa where he is expected to sign for Moroccan outfit Maghreb de Fes.
Mabasa is currently a free agent following his release by Pirates immediately after the expiry of his loan deal with Stellenbosch FC.
While the left-footed striker is a proven goal-poacher of note, no PSL club showed interest in his services.
And for that reason, his agency cast its net wide and far in trying to secure Mabasa a new home for the upcoming season.
According to a report by SABC Sport, a deal in principle has already between the two parties, and Mabasa will complete his medicals before putting pen to paper.
The 29-year-old leaves these shores as a Pirates legend with 50 goals for the club, eight behind all-time goalscorer Benedict ‘Tso’ Vilakazi.
