With one game remaining and another hanging, Golden Arrows coach Manqoba Mngqithi is keeping his cards close to his chest regarding the shock departure of two key players from the club.
Reporters have emerged claiming Arrows have parted ways with experienced duo Knox Mutizwa and Thabani Zuke, much to the surprise of many.

The two players are among the side's senior stars and would naturally be looked upon to salvage something from what has been a disappointing campaign.
Mngqithi was roped in at the start of March following months on the sidelines after his Mamelodi Sundowns exit, but not much has improved in terms of the fortunes.
Last Tuesday's 3-0 drubbing by Orlando Pirates was followed by a goalless draw against Richards Bay FC on the weekend.
Speaking to the media recently, the 54-year-old tactician described the situation as 'dirty linen'.
"As for those decisions [Mutizwa and Zuke departures], we take them as a team. We always prefer to keep our dirty linen within the house," was all Mngqithi could say in response when asked about the rumours.

They still have the outstanding issue of a match against SuperSport United, which was abandoned at 1-1 during half-time due to loadshedding back in February at Lucas Moripe Stadium.
