Sekhukhune United have made a major call on three of their players, including in-demand striker Andy Boyeli.
Babina Noko have confirmed that striker Boyeli has been loaned to Tanzania giants Young Africans, while Njabulo Ngcobo and Relebogile Mokhuoane have been released.
24-year-old Boyeli scored nine goals in all competitions for Sekhukhune United last season, placing at the top of several teams' wishlists ahead of the new campaign.

His exit, albeit on loan, will come as a blow to Eric Tinkler's side, who narrowly missed out on continental football after finishing fourth on the Betway Premiership table and Kaizer Chiefs' Nedbank Cup triumph.
Meanwhile, the likes of Ngcobo will be looking for a fresh start after an unsuccessful spell with Babina Noko.
Ngcobo made just six appearances last season, having joined the Bedfordview-based outfit after leaving Kaizer Chiefs at the expiry of his contract.

Mokhuoane's exit is a somewhat surprising one, having made 20 appearances last season in the heart of the midfield. However, Tinkler will have Linda Mntambo, Thabang Monare and newly signed Miguel Timm all ready to fill the void.
Sekhukhune kick off their 25/26 season with an MTN8 quarter-final against TS Galaxy on Saturday. The match will be played at Peter Mokaba Stadium. Kick-off is at 18:00.
