According to reliable sources close to Swallows, Thwala is also on the wanted list of an unnamed Premier League team in Mozambique.
"He has a good offer in Mozambique. He is currently weighing up the options," said the source.
"He has given Chippa United first preference even though the team wants him to go for assessment first. He is set to stay with Chippa for one week before returning to eSwatini to make a final decision about his future in football," he added.
eSwatini has produced several players who have played their football in South Africa including Dennis Masina Sbusiso Dlamini, Abel Shongwe, Tholeni Nkambule, William Shongwe, Ronnie Dube, Scara Thindwa, Tony Tsabedze and Wonder Nhleko.
