Marumo Gallants owner Abram Sello has revealed where top striker Ranga Chivaviro will be playing his football next season.
Though he is one of the underrated and not-so-popular strikers in South African football, Chivaviro has performed wonders for the relegated Gallants in both continental competition and domestic football this season.

Chivaviro has scored 10 goals in 19 league appearances for Gallants this season, only two goals shy from joint top goal scorers Peter Shalulile [Mamelodi Sundowns] and Khanyisa Mayo of Cape Town City who both finished on 12 goals.
The 30-year-old also scored 7 times in the CAF Confederations Cup in his 10 appearances.
According to an insider, Sello revealed in a recent meeting the player will be heading to Egypt.
"Now that the team is relegated the chairman has made it known to all of us we will be playing in the, Motsepe Foundation Championship next season," a source revealed to KickOff.
"At this stage, only Ranga Chivaviro is leaving, that is what the chairman Mr Sello informed all of us on Sunday.
"He was addressing the whole team when he told Ranga, you've done your part, my boy, now you can go, I'm releasing you now.
"The chairman said there is interest in Egypt from the likes of Pyramids, even Al Ahly or Zamalek and also in South Africa."
Contacted for a comment, Chivaviro said he was still hurting from the pain of failing to save the club from relegation.
Locally the striker has been linked with the likes of Orlando Pirates.
The Sea Robbers will be competing in the CAF Champions League next season, and therefore will need a striker of Chivaviro's calibre who understands continental football.
