Ajax Cape Town have loaned out a number of players to the First Division.
Stylish midfielder Mfundo 'Hagi' Shumana will play for Chippa United, while Sici Shelembe has been loaned to Vasco da Gama.
"We have signed Shumana on a six-month loan deal from Ajax. He is actually going to take part in a training match against Santos today," Chippa manager Wandisile Mbenguzana tells KickOff.com.
Shumana only returned to Ajax at the beginning of the season after a stint at Moroka Swallows, but has battled for game time.
Ajax had initially considered sending Shelembe to their Vodacom League feeder team, to familiarise him with the Ajax system, but massive interest from the First Division had that option frozen.
Shelembe only joined Ajax at the beginning of the season from Witbank Spurs, but after showing early promise – and being touted as the player to fill Thulani Serero's boots – he has not seen much action.
Ajax have also sent out Nathan Gertse and Dabiso Vezi to Vasco, who have also snapped up Gregory Roelf on loan from Santos.
"We are excited about having these three players from Ajax who are all Under 23. They are already here with us and we will now register them with the PSL," Vasco manager Kenny Gertse says.
