He was previously linked with a move to Chiefs as his game time was limited at the end of last season.<\/p>\n<p>With Abseslam Ouaddou taking over, the prolific striker only made nine appearances for the Buccaneers in the first half of the season.<\/p>\n<p>If Mabasa continues to score for Stellies, Chiefs might be waiting on the wings to sign yet another free agent from Orlando Pirates. Earlier this season, the Glamour Boys brought in Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako, who were formerly with the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n<p>Mabasa has scored three times since joining Stellenbosch and his coach, Gavin Hunt, believes the striker is enjoying life in the Cape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said to my guys on Thursday, \u2018You can\u2019t play Mabasa if you\u2019re not going to service him; you have to service a striker\u2019,\u201d Hunt said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-chiefs-sign-mabasa-for-free\">Can Chiefs sign Mabasa for free?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t do the things that Pirates want him to do [press defences], which I understand; he doesn\u2019t do that for us either. But if you service him, he will score because this guy can score. On Wednesday, he had one chance he should have scored, maybe two.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if you play wide, you\u2019ve got to service him. So, if you service him and put balls across, he\u2019ll come across into your post and score,\u201d Hunt added.<\/p>\n<p>Since joining Stellies, he has netted three times, including a\u00a0brace\u00a0in his last outing against Chippa United. It remains to be seen which team Mabasa will join after June.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-should-mabasa-go-next\">Where should Mabasa go next?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Kaizer #Chiefs #sign #Mabasa #FREE #July<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tshegofatso Mabasa could be an option for Kaizer Chiefs when his contract expires with Orlando Pirates at the end of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":53993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53992"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53992\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53994,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53992\/revisions\/53994"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
