According to RushSportsOn sources, the 34-year-old is a target for Magesi as he plans his future after leaving Moroka Swallows.
The source said:
“Negotiations are ongoing, but Jali rejected the first proposal & his agent is now talking to him.”
Local football fans took to social media to say Magesi should avoid Jali, who has a history of discipline issues.
Moloantoa Johnson backs the move:
“Good decision to strengthen the team. We need his experience.”
John Mashiane is against the move:
“It will be a bad move. There are so many new and fresh talent out there, ready to make a mark.”
Lehwidi Mokalapa says Jali will be a bad influence:
“His attitude will destroy young Magesi players.”
Madoda Kenneth says it is a bad move:
“The fastest way back to NFD is buying old, rusty, rejected players.”
Josty Boy Maphoto is a fan:
“Experience is permanent.”
