Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena has issued a stern warning to any team interested in signing in-demand defender Khuliso Mudau.
The Bafana Bafana defender is reported to have attracted interest from abroad, including the English Premiership.

Mudau has been in fine form for the Brazilians this season and was instrumental in helping the club win the African Football League this year.
Mokwena stated that his club has not received an offer for Mudau, and it would take a lot for Masandawana to consider selling the player.
"Sailor is going nowhere because I am very selfish, as we need our best players, and we are not a selling club, that's very clear.
"However, as a person who understands that life is about growth, targets, and dealing with situations like Cassius, I know that as difficult as it was for us to let go of Cassius, when there are significant opportunities and possibilities for growth that make sense for all parties involved, including Sundowns, I can't entertain it at the moment because it's just talk, and there is nothing on the table.
"He is an unbelievable football player and an incredible human being. Sailor is such a kind-hearted soul and a crucial part of the team.
"It's very challenging to entertain those types of talks when there is nothing concrete.
"If I answer only as the Sundowns coach, I would say to you, 'Hands off Sailor.' It's akin to going to Manchester City and asking Kyle Walker; it's very difficult," said Mokwena.
Mamelodi Sundowns beat SuperSport United 2-0 during the Tshwane derby in Atteridgeville on Wednesday, maintaining their unbeaten run in the DStv Premiership this season.
