Mokwena's permanent move from Orlando Pirates to Chippa United '99 percent done'

Chippa United chairman Siviwe Mpengesi has revealed Rhulani Mokwena is close to sealing a permanent move from Orlando Pirates to the Port Elizabeth side.

Mokwena joined Chippa United as a Pirates loanee in March and took charge of the 0-0 draw away at Bidvest Wits before football was suspended in South Africa due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Tasked with saving 12th-placed Chippa from relegation, the coach is faced with what could be a huge task as his side is six points above basement side Black Leopards.
