Cape Town City’s new signing, Matthew Rusike is still waiting for a work permit.

The former Kaizer Chiefs player returned to the ABSA Premiership after signing a contract on the last day of the transfer window. He missed Friday’s game against Mamelodi Sundowns where his side suffered a 1-0 loss.

According to Soccer Laduma, City are currently in a race against time to receive Rusike’s paperwork before the team’s clash against Bidvest Wits on Wednesday.

The Zimbabwean forward, who won the Absa Premiership title twice with Chiefs was previously on the books of Club Africain of Tunisia, where he played his last game during the final of the Tunisian Cup in June last year.
