Makubo, in particular, has already been linked with interest from clubs in the Netherlands and France, which signals his rising stock as one of South Africa’s most promising midfield prospects.
Mahlangu Offered a Senior Contract
Meanwhile, Mahlangu’s growing influence within SuperSport United has not gone unnoticed. A second source disclosed that the young striker has been offered a three-year senior contract, running from July 2024 to June 2027.
