Keletso Makgalwa: Young Africans linked with move for Sekhukhunes South African winger

South African left winger Keletso Makgalwa is being linked with a move from Sekhukhune United to Tanzanian giants Young Africans, with the 29-year-olds future under scrutiny as his contract situation remains unclear.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns wide player, who currently wears the No 7 shirt for Sekhukhune, is listed with a market value of 1.20m on Transfermarkt as of 5 June 2026. That valuation is expected to frame any negotiations, though the reported probability of the transfer remains unspecified (?), underlining that talks are at an early, speculative stage.

Makgalwa joined Sekhukhune from Upington City on a standard transfer on 7 July 2024 after rebuilding his career in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, having spent a period as a free agent following his release from Sundowns in September 2023. His dramatic rise in value over the past 18 months from zero at Upington City in October 2023 to 1.20m at Sekhukhune reflects an upturn in form in the Betway Premiership.

Born in Mokopane, Limpopo on 3 January 1997 and standing at 1.70m, Makgalwa is a right-footed attacker whose main position is on the left wing. Before Sekhukhune, his career featured several loan spells from Sundowns, including Durban City, Moroka Swallows, TS Galaxy and All Stars, giving him extensive experience across South Africas professional tiers.

While detailed individual statistics from his most recent matches have not been published in the supplied data, his rising valuation has coincided with Sekhukhunes campaigns in the DStv Premiership, where he has been used in attacking roles from the flank. No fee, contract end date or firm offer has yet been reported in relation to Young Africans interest.

Should a deal materialise, a switch to Dar es Salaam would mark Makgalwas first move outside South Africa and could be a defining step in how his late-20s peak is viewed across the African game.
