A source close to Mokeke revealed that the defenders future remains in the hands of coach Stuart Baxter.

‘There is no secret that both Wits and Pirates want him,’ the source said.

‘Remember he is the only left-footed midfielder at SuperSport and is versatile. The club needs balance.

‘The coach Stuart Baxter will make the final call whether SuperSport United keep or release him.’
