Reports earlier this week surfaced with Chilli Boys boss Chippa Mpengesi telling Sowetan that the club have scured the services of Tlolane as well as Maritzburg United's Kurt Lentjies on free transfers.
However, controversy soon struck as snl24.com/kickoff learnt that Mpengesi had been duped as Tlolane's deal with City is only set to end at the end of next season.
Maritzburg chairman Farook Kadodia then told this website that Lentjies is in fact contracted until June 2018.
Football agent Lizwe Mthethwa then came out to deny claims that he had conned Mpengesi with a fraudulent contract signed by his client Tlolane.
Documents forwarded exclusively to snl24.com/kickoff then proved the conversation held between Mpengesi and Mthethwa, as well as a copy of the alleged fake contract with what appeared to be Tlolane's signature.
Meanwhile, the 26-year-old attacker has for the first time come out and attempted to clear the air surrounding the various reports.
