This comes on the back of the imminent exit of coach Peter Hyballa, whom sources have indicated has allegedly not seen eye-to-eye with members of the technical team and even some players in recent weeks, prompting immediate intervention by the club's management.
The German mentor is set to leave Sekhukhune just a month into his tenure and without overseeing a single competitive match.
KickOff can now confirm that following negotiations on Tuesday afternoon, Seema has agreed to a three-year deal with Sekhukhune.
The offer was one of several on Seema's table, with Richards Bay FC and an unnamed Ethiopian outfit both having made concrete bids for his signature.
