Vilakazi was widely expected to leave Wits after it was reported he had told his team-mates last week at training that it would be his last day at the club.

While the fee was not disclosed, Wits revealed on their official website that Cuthbert Malajila and Mogakolodi Ngele would be joining them.

"The players involved have all agreed personal terms with their respective new clubs and the transfers are, therefore, effective immediately."

Malajila confirmed his move on Twitter on Sunday, writing: Am happy to announce am now a Bidvest Wits fc player can't wait to join my new teamates new environment....
