The 19-year-old midfielder, who has impressed with his composure, tactical maturity, and consistency in the DStv Diski Challenge, is now firmly on the radar of two PSL outfits who believe he could make the step up to senior football sooner rather than later.
Stellenbosch FC and Sekhukhune United, two clubs that have built reputations for giving young players opportunities, are believed to be monitoring Mohale closely as they plan for squad reinforcements in the upcoming transfer window.
With Chiefs still evaluating his readiness for first-team action, the interest from elsewhere may present a dilemma for both player and club.

“Theto is on the list of players being watched for next season,” a Siya source close to the situation confirmed.
“He’s been doing very well for Chiefs in the DDC, and with the way Stellies and Sekhukhune are planning their recruitment – they want young, coachable players with pace and good game understanding – he fits the profile,” the source added.
