In edition 1294 of Soccer Laduma, it was reported that the Buccaneers appeared look to be the favourites to win the race for the winger at the time, with a view of reuniting him with his former Marumo Gallants teammates Miguel Timm and Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo, who were signed by the Soweto giants in the last transfer window.

"Don't rule out another move for a Marumo Gallants player to one of the Soweto giants in January and this time Otladisa is the target. Chiefs are still very interested in the player and there have been talks already about a possible move. It's highly possible and don't say I didn't tell you," said the source.
Otladisa has helped Gallants to reach the group stages of the CAF Confederation Cup and his performances have been improving under coach Dan Malesela, having made 12 appearances in the DStv Premiership and provided two assists so far in the campaign.
