Tshepo 'Skhwama' Matete will have to keep waiting for the chance to make his top-flight return following his signing by Chippa United at the end of last month.
Matete arrived at Chippa during the second week of December, but his signing was only confirmed on January 31.

No details were given about his contract length.
Since his signing Matete has missed the league defeat to Stellenbosch and is again not in the squad again for the Nedbank Cup Valentine's Day date with Polokwane City at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Word is that he is battling with an ankle discomfort picked up at training over the weekend.
Besides the injury issue, Matete is behind the rest of the squad with his fitness having last played competitive football in May last year while with Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila.
Since leaving TTM, he was involved in his 'beloved' township football tournaments where showboating is the order of the day.
Matete is back in the DStv Premiership six years since he last played in this league at Baroka where he only managed six appearances in 18 months before the hype around him fizzled out.
Now 31, the opportunity at Chippa could be his last at this level.
