New Sekhukhune United coach Peter Hyballa has wished Elias Mokwana all the best after his blockbuster move to four-time CAF Champions League winners ES Tunis.
The Bafana Bafana international signed a three-year deal with the Tunisian champions, and was unveiled on Thursday.

Hyballa, who was appointed at the start of the pre-season, admits it is sad he won’t get an opportunity to work with Mokwana, but said that after a good year, the player deserves a big career.
“Ja, if you lose one of your best players, it’s always sad, but I’ll say also Sekhukhune United did a great job, and also Elias did a great job in the last year,” Hyballa told media at the MTN8 launch on Wednesday.
“And I wish him good luck and that he has a big career over the next years, maybe he comes once again and says goodbye.”
Mokwana’s performances not only helped Sekhukhune to secure fourth-place, but also earned him a call-up to Hugo Broos’ Bafana Bafana squad this year, where he made an immediate impression and was hailed as SA’s new diamond by Doctor Khumalo.
