Kaizer Chiefs striker Ashley du Preez has been spotted in Cape Town ahead of a sensational return to Stellenbosch FC.
Du Preez is not part of new coach Fernando da Cruz’s plans, but because he is still contracted to the club, the hierarchy decided to use him as bait to land Langelihle Phili.
He was excluded from the pre-season tour to Spain, and that alone signalled the end of an era for him at Amakhosi.
The speedy striker is not the only player that Chiefs will use to sweeten the Phili deal as there is also Given Msimango.
Amakhosi are expected to also pay millions of Rands in addition to the two players after going back and forth in negotiations with Stellies.
Now, what’s unclear at this stage is whether or not Msimango has been made aware of the swap deal as he’s still in Gauteng.

Du Preez, 29, joined Chiefs in 2022, meaning he spent four full years at Naturena prior to this proposed deal to Stellies.
He featured in 96 matches across all competitions, scored 19 goals and provided nine assists during his time with Chiefs.
