The highly touted youngster Emile Witbooi, son of Bradley Ralani, is closing in on a move to a DStv Premiership club.
Witbooi, a School of Excellence product, has emerged as one of the country's top prospects in recent months.
Earlier this year, SABC Sport reported that Manchester United were one of the teams that enquired about the young player just weeks after he was part of the South Africa Under-16 team that played in the UEFA development tournament which took place in Poland.
Mamelodi Sundowns were also said to be keen on the youngster.

Interestingly, a source has now given insight into Witbooi's future.
"Cape Town City are looking likely to secure Witbooi. Mamelodi Sundowns and Cape Town Spurs were also interested in the player but it looks like they may have missed out," said the source.
Meanwhile, an insider has further revealed that Witbooi is poised to join Cape Town City.
With Witbooi currently being 16 years old, it is likely that he will start training with the Citizens' DStv Diski side.
However, City Coach Eric Tinkler has shown in the past that he is not afraid to give opportunities to young players with Jaedin Rhodes, Patrick Fisher, Shakeel April and Luke Daniels getting first team opportunities during his reign.
