Cape Town City have bolstered their squad with the signing of former Kaizer Chiefs striker Matthew Rusike from Club Africain.
The Citizens completed their fifth transfer deal during the January transfer window following the arrivals of Allen Kateregga, Bradley Ralani, Kwanda Mngonyama and Masoud Juma.
The 27-year-old was reportedly close to returning to the Swedish Premier League, but opted to join Benni McCarthy’s side
