- Despite being linked with moves to big clubs like Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, and Mamelodi Sundowns, Oswin Appollis might just stay at Polokwane City.
- Interest from overseas clubs, including Tunisia’s Esperance, hasn’t panned out, leaving fans eager for an update on his future.
- Local football enthusiasts are growing tired of the endless speculation and are waiting for clarity on Appollis' transfer saga.
Let me break it down for you: Oswin Appollis, the dynamic Polokwane City winger, has been at the center of one heck of a transfer drama. Despite all the buzz and chatter about him moving to bigger clubs, it looks like Appollis might just stick around when the local transfer window slams shut on Friday, September 20, 2024. This guy's got everyone on edge!
You know how sometimes a player becomes the talk of the town? Well, Appollis is that player right now. He's been connected to some of South Africa’s biggest names—Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, and Mamelodi Sundowns—and even had some overseas interest floating around. But here's the thing: as much as people speculate, nothing concrete has happened yet. So, where does that leave us?
Former Mamelodi Sundowns ace Eric Ramasike has even chimed in, urging Chiefs to go all out and secure Appollis. But his agent, Lance Davids, has been clear: so far, no real movement. It's like watching a movie where the plot twists keep you guessing, but nothing ever gets resolved.

Why Everyone Wants Oswin Appollis
So, why is everyone so obsessed with Appollis? Let’s dive into what makes him such a hot commodity. The guy’s talent on the pitch is undeniable, and his performances for Polokwane have caught the eye of some heavyweights. In a tweet, his agent Lance Davids gives us a glimpse into the interest surrounding the player.
According to iDiski Times, Davids confirmed that, as of now, there haven’t been any solid offers for Appollis. Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi even admitted he admires the winger. But here’s what Davids had to say:
“As things stand, there is none—he remains contracted to Polokwane City.”
Now, don’t think the interest stops there. Soweto giants Orlando Pirates have openly expressed their desire to bring Appollis aboard. Rumors suggest they’ve even proposed a player-plus-cash deal to get him. But will it happen? That’s the million-dollar question.
Fans Are Losing Patience
While the clubs and agents hash things out behind the scenes, local football fans are losing their patience. Social media is blowing up with comments from people who are tired of the constant back-and-forth. Some fans are convinced Appollis will leave Polokwane, while others believe he’ll stay put. It’s a mixed bag of emotions out there.
Take Thato Sthee, for example. He thinks Appollis made a huge mistake by not jumping at an opportunity earlier:
“Aaah, his loss then.”
On the flip side, Stingy-skhotane Stingy-skhotane is confident Sundowns will get their man:

“The boy wants to play in the Club World Cup.”
Bone Tshepo Moeng dreams of seeing Appollis in a Chiefs jersey:
“Would have loved to see him at Chiefs because Sundowns and Pirates have strong squads.”
And then there’s Zakhele Sush Drobs, who’s just plain frustrated:
“We are tired of this player, and this is too much.”
Finally, Thuso Nkosi sums it up with a straightforward prediction:
“He’s staying put at Polokwane City.”
Polokwane Eyes Another Talent
While all eyes are on Appollis, Polokwane City is also making moves of its own. According to Briefly News, the club is eyeing former Orlando Pirates star Lesedi Kapinga, who was recently let go by the Soweto giants. Interestingly, Polokwane’s interest in Kapinga predates his release from Pirates, and there were whispers that he might’ve been part of a deal to sign Appollis. Talk about a tangled web!
So, what’s next for Oswin Appollis? Will he remain a Polokwane City star, or will he make the leap to one of the PSL’s giants? One thing’s for sure: football fans across the country will be watching closely as the transfer window draws to a close. Stay tuned, folks—this story isn’t over yet!
