Thabang Rakwena: South African winger joins Cape Town City from Casric Stars

Cape Town City have added South African right winger Thabang Rakwena to their squad after securing his move from Casric Stars. The 29-year-old switches clubs in his home country as he looks to take the next step in his career with the ambitious Cape Town side.

Rakwena arrives from Casric Stars, where he has been operating from the right flank, and now bolsters the wide options available in the Mother City. His ability to play on the wing gives Cape Town City an additional attacking outlet as they continue to reshape their squad ahead of the new campaign.

At 29, Rakwena brings experience from the South African game into a Cape Town City team that has frequently refreshed its attacking department in recent seasons. The move also represents a notable piece of business for the club, recruiting a player already acclimatised to domestic competition rather than looking abroad.

The winger joins a side that has put an emphasis on dynamic wide play and quick transitions, attributes that fit naturally with Rakwena’s position on the right. His arrival from Casric Stars underlines Cape Town City’s intent to strengthen in key areas of the pitch with players in their peak years.

Rakwena’s transfer from Casric Stars to Cape Town City is confirmed as a completed deal, with the South African wide man now officially on the books of the Cape Town club.
