Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane has provided updates on the future of both Tokelo Rantie and Venezuelan forward Ali Meza.

The Bafana Bafana forward has been going through a difficult period in his personal life, after his contract was terminated by Cape Town City last year due to off-the-field issues with his fitness and discipline.

Rantie, though, has been training with the Brazilians since the start of pre-season looking to earn himself a contract.

Mosimane had previously said he will give the forward the best chance possible to prove his fitness and commitment, and when the time is right sign him on.

The Downs coach was then pressed on the matter this week. When asked outright if they have signed Rantie, Mosimane said ‘Not yet’, indicating that it could be only a matter of time until they confirm his signing.

Meanwhile Meza, who looked set to join Maritzburg United last month after being invited for training before the deal fell through, is still at Sundowns.

Mosimane revealed that he still rates Meza highly and is waiting to hear from the club hierarchy about the player’s future.
