Will he move or not?

ON-loan Golden Arrows midfield talisman Kudakwashe Mahachi says he is eagerly awaiting his parent club Mamelodi Sundowns to advise him of his next move as South Africaaï¿½ï¿½s Absa Premiership 2015/2016 season has reached fever pitch.

Mahachi, a Zimbabwean international, was loaned for a season to Arrows by Sundowns after winning his case against the latter in September last year.

The Zimbabwean forward had taken the Brazilians to Mzansi PSLaï¿½ï¿½s powers-that-be in a bid to get his clearance due to a lack of game-time at Chloorkop.

aï¿½?While the 2015/2016 season is coming to an end, I canaï¿½ï¿½t wait to be advised on my next move by Mamelodi Sundowns. I think I played to the best of my ability at Golden Arrows where I was on loan. Arrows is a good team and I was still settling well but I have a running contract with Sundowns who automatically have a say on my next move,aï¿½? said Mahachi in an interview from his base in Durban.

aï¿½?All what I need is to play regularly like what I have done at Golden Arrows. I think that will help me further improve as a player,aï¿½? added the former Chicken Inn and Bantu Rovers footie who boasts of three league and one cup goal at Abafana Besaï¿½ï¿½thende.

Asked if he would consider permanently joining Golden Arrows the Mzilikazi raised former Zimbabwe youth international said it was up to Arrows to engage Amasandawana.

aï¿½?I can always stay put at Golden Arrows but it will be up to the club to approach Sundowns. I played regularly and enjoyed my game time at Arrows. However, as the season is drawing to an end I will not feature much in Arrows colours as our coach has insisted on giving youngsters some game time,aï¿½? he said.

With Teko Modiseaï¿½ï¿½s bones getting long, Nkembe as Mahachi is affectionately known to his close associates, as been touted as an able direct replacement of Sundownsaï¿½ï¿½ midfield general and former Bafana Bafana key player.

A source close to the player to B Metro Sport that the Brazilians were highly considering to recall the Zimbabwean international.

aï¿½?He will be going back to Sundowns. His impressive stay at Golden Arrows has helped him a lot. He will be part of the Sundowns 2016/2017 season squad,aï¿½? said the impeccable source.

Turning to the Warriors 2017 Afcon campaign, Mahachi said there was a need for the nation to remain focused and united.

aï¿½?We are almost there. As a nation we need to remain focused and united. We have to beat Malawi in June to make sure that we qualify. Itaï¿½ï¿½s all up to us as a nation. The players are committed and against all odds it can be done,aï¿½? he said.

The Warriors are due to take on Malawi at home in their second from last group tie set for June.

Kallisto Pasuwaaï¿½ï¿½s mentored Warriors sit at the apex of Group L with eight points and they will conclude their campaign with an away tie against bogey side Guinea who recently doused the Malawi Flames in their own backyard.
