Sithole, the premiership top goal scorer with 10 goals including two hat-tricks at this stage of the campaign had been expected to partner with fellow Zimbabwean Nyasha Mushekwi at the Brazilians next season.
However, Sundowns boss Trott Moloto who was at the National Sports Stadium last Sunday watching the Harare derby between CAPS United and Dynamos said Sithole will be loaned to another club in the mean time." He is a very good player but for now he will be loaned to another club." he said.
The Zimbabwean international's presence at the club will also exceed the foreign quarter at the club as Sundowns have also signed two Nigerians. Five foreigners are allowed per club in South Africa.
Another former CAPS United player- midfielder Lionel Mutizwa will also be loaned out to open up yet another foreign spot to accommodate the two new Nigerian signings.
Mutizwa, signed at the beginning of last season and due to turn 27 next month, has been unfortunate to battle with injuries in his first season at Sundowns despite having shown glimpses of his qualities in the few games that he played.
The two new Nigerians are set to join Mozambican winger Elias Pelembe along with the Zimbabwean duo of Mushekwi and Method Mwanjali as the five foreigners on Sundowns books.
