Bidvest Wits have announced the signing of Sinethemba Jantjie from Free State Stars and Ajax Cape Town duo Brandon Petersen and Prince Nxumalo, all on pre-contracts, bolstering their squad for next season.

Wits confirmed via their twitter account that that player will join the club from 1 July 2019.
Another One! ?
