The club, who won the GladAfrica Championship last season, before the second tier was re-branded as the Motsepe Foundation Championship, had already announced ten signings earlier this month.
Now the club has confirmed bringing in two new shot stoppers to help the team survive their first ever season in the South African top flight.
Boshoff had spent his entire professional career at Usuthu, and iDiski Times reported in this week’s paper he was training with the Natal Rich Boyz.
Meanwhile, Magoola, who has nine caps for his country, was at Pretoria Callies last season, having joined after a few years playing for Al Hilal and Al Merrikh in the Sudanese league.
