This is how Kaizer Chiefs reject ended up at Chippa United

Kamohelo Mahlatsi’s recent signing with Chippa United has shed light on the instrumental role played by coaches Kwanele Kopo and Thabo September in securing the forward for the club.

A reliable source within the football fraternity revealed that Mahlatsi’s move to Chippa was facilitated by the persuasive efforts of Kopo and September, who encouraged the player to seize the opportunity at the Eastern Cape-based outfit.

Following his transfer-listing by Kaizer Chiefs last year, Mahlatsi encountered challenges in finding a new team, with unsuccessful attempts to secure a return to his former club, Moroka Swallows FC.

However, the arrival of Kopo and September as co-coaches at Chippa United marked a turning point for Mahlatsi, leading to a swift and promising move to the Chilli Boys.

“Coach Kopo and coach September recognize Mahlatsi’s qualities, which is why they saw potential in bringing him to Chippa,” the source disclosed.

The familiarity and rapport between the coaches and Mahlatsi, cultivated during their time together at SuperSport, played a pivotal role in the decision to recruit the talented forward.

“Having worked with him extensively in the past, they were well aware of his capabilities. Securing Mahlatsi’s services was a strategic move for them, especially after assuming their roles at Chippa,” the source added.

Mahlatsi’s arrival at Chippa United signals a new chapter in his career, with the support and confidence of coaches Kopo and September serving as a driving force behind the player’s transition to the club.

As Mahlatsi embarks on this fresh opportunity, the guidance and belief of his coaches are poised to play a crucial role in his success and contribution to the Chilli Boys.
