A new continental chapter begins for one of Soweto’s finest forward talents! Former Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa has officially traveled to North Africa to complete a transfer to reigning Botola Pro League champions Maghreb de Fes.
The 29-year-old left-footed sniper becomes a free agent after completing his recent loan spell with Stellenbosch FC. With local PSL clubs passing on the opportunity, Mabasa’s representatives cast a wider net, securing an agreement in principle with the Moroccan titans.
Mabasa leaves South African shores having built a lasting legacy at Mayfair—bagging 50 goals in Orlando Pirates colors, placing him just eight goals behind all-time club legend Benedict ‘Tso’ Vilakazi.
What the Move Means: CAF Champions League Collision Course?
- Medical Pending: Mabasa is set to undergo standard medical assessments in Morocco before officially putting pen to paper early this week.
- Continental Stage Return: Joining Maghreb de Fes means Mabasa returns to the CAF Champions League stage this season.
- Potential Reunion: With defending Betway Premiership champions Orlando Pirates also competing in the CAF Champions League, a dramatic showdown between Mabasa and his former club could be on the cards!
