The search for a new club has begun in earnest for former Bafana Bafana captain Thulani Hlatshwayo, who finds himself at a career crossroads following recent developments at SuperSport United.
Hlatshwayo is on the hunt for a new team after pulling up a no-show at Siwelele Football Club's recent meetings.

According to a source, the veteran defender, who joined SuperSport from Orlando Pirates in 2022, has not reported to new top-flight outfit Siwelele FC's pre-season training sessions since they got down to business.
Matsatsantsa's Betway Premiership status has been bought by Siwelele FC, and the man nicknamed 'Tyson' is believed to not be part of the deal, and therefore free to move to a club of his choice.
At 35, he might not have a lot of suitors, though he will be looking for one last big contract of his playing career.
"Almost everybody that we had at SuperSport United is still here, except Thulani Hlatshwayo and Bradley Grobler," a source revealed.
Grobler has since linked up with Sekhukhune United.
"Nobody knows what the story is with Hlatshwayo because he left the club without saying his goodbyes to anyone at the club. He just didn't return for pre-season.
