Thulani Hlatshwayo will not leaving Ajax Cape Town in this transfer window, and will only join Wits in July.

The Siya crew reported yesterday that the Braamfontein-based outfit, with whom ‘Tyson’ has signed a pre-contract, were keen to bring him on board before today’s transfer window closed, though it seems their attempts were unsuccessful.

A statement on Ajax’s website said, “Hlatshwayo signed a pre-contract with Wits in July and The Clever Boys were keen to land Tyson before the end of the January transfer period, offering winger Bhongolwethu Jayiya as part of a swap agreement to sweeten the deal.

“Ajax Cape Town resisted and held onto their defensive king-pin for the next six months.”

Hlatshwayo will now spend the next six months with the club that raised him before making the move to Gauteng in July.
