Kaizer Chiefs' promising young talent, who recently picked up an award and earned the opportunity to travel overseas for pre-season matches, is currently not sure where he will play in the upcoming season.
The youngster Kabelo Nkgwesa's immediate future has come into question, with Siya sources close to the player indicating that a loan arrangement is possible.

Even though Nkgwesa can train with the senior team, he still has an apprenticeship contract at Chiefs, so he could continue playing for the Amakhosi DDC team, wait patiently with the senior side, or move elsewhere for Premiership experience.
Sources have added that with the recent signings of Nkanyiso Shinga and Paseka Mako, plus the continued presence of both Happy Mashiane and Bradley Cross in the squad, Kaizer Chiefs are believed to be considering loaning Nkgwesa out to gain valuable game time and experience.
"At the moment there are two clubs which are believed to have shown interest in him, and the club knows he can gain experience so that when he comes back, he can compete and play for the senior team," the source told Soccer Laduma.
Meanwhile, a second source close to the player spoke to the Siya crew, stating that while nothing is concrete at present, the situation can change in football.

"There hasn't been any talk of a loan at this stage. But that could change. He still has an apprenticeship contract. He has been training with the first team, but we haven't had any indications if he will be part of the first team's plans this season. So nothing really has changed," the second source told the Siya crew.
The 19-year-old defender is renowned for his defensive strength, pace, and ability to support attacking plays. Nkgwesa was named Player of the Season for the DDC team last term.
Soccer Laduma contacted Chiefs for an official comment on Nkgwesa's future, but the club had not responded by the time this report was published. It remains to be seen if Nkgwesa might stay at Amakhosi and attempt to make a breakthrough in the senior team.
