Kaizer Chiefs could loan out one of their DStv Diski Challenge graduates in the next transfer window, the Siya crew understands.
Soccer Laduma had previously reported how Amakhosi promoted 17-year-old player Vicky Mkhawana but due to current circumstances at the club, it may be better for him to gain game time elsewhere.

This comes after he was promoted to the first team at the start of the current season, and Chiefs have been struggling for favourable results in the PSL and Cup competitions so far.
Siya sources have indicated that Amakhosi don't want to place the youngster under pressure in a team that needs to produce better results to turn their fortunes around quickly.
The source added that the attacking midfielder may be wanted by clubs such as Cape Town Spurs.
"The club (Chiefs) has reached a decision to loan Vicky (Mkhawana) out in January because they don't want to delay his progress by keeping him idle while he can have the chance to play somewhere," said the Siya source.
"The loan will not only help the player's growth and game time but also the club because he will come back with experience which in turn will help the team and that's why they want to do it.
"One team that I know that has shown interest in the player is Cape Town Spurs but I hear there is another team as well. Once I find out which team it is, then I will tell you.
"But the main point is that they want him to go on loan in January," the source told Soccer Laduma.
A second source added that since he is a regular at the Under-17 South African national team then they want him to continue in his development to the Under-20 national team.
"They don't want to deprive him of his chance of representing the country at junior levels because he is not playing (at Chiefs) and also they don't want him to go back to the DDC side so that's why they want to loan him out," said the second source.
"The technical team is also giving him the chance to play more and grow in confidence so that when his time to play for the senior team comes then he would be ready.
"So, if all goes well and according to plan he should be going out on loan in the transfer window," the source concluded.
Mkhawana had initially signed a three-year contract at the start of the season when he was promoted and that will run until June 2027.
Soccer Laduma contacted Chiefs for comment but no response was received while preparing this story.
