However, the exact team’s name remained scanty at the time of compiling this report. Thwala is rated as the most expensive player in Nsingizini’squad for this season. His value is estimated at 75 000 Euros (over E1 million) as per Transfermarket. Transfermarkt rates players according to their performance over a certain period.

Thwala was not present when Mandla Qhogi’s charges held firm to a scrappy 1-0 win over Sisonkhe at KaLanga Technical Centre this past Sunday.

Impeccable sources confided to this publication that he was being seen around his home area at the same time Nsingizini played their game. Notable, from next month, only six months will be left until his contract expires.

The left-back has previously been linked to Zambian powerhouse ZESCO United. However, the deal collapsed, with reports suggesting his price tag had been placed too high for the Ndola giants.
