Soccer-Laduma revealed last week that Mwaruwari was a target for The Students, with the Braamfontein club now having all but concluded the deal. Mwaruwari and Wits have agreed on terms, with the deal currently being finalised.
Wits CEO Jose Ferreira, confirmed that the deal was being concluded with the finer details being ironed out.
The deal is expected to be finalised soon, with the player expected to turn out for the Gavin Hunt-coached outfit in the new campaign.

With the deal having been agreed to in principle, an official announcement from the club is expected to be made in the near future. The striker played for Chippa United this past season, after signing with the club in February.
However, he left this past month due to contractual disputes between himself and the club’s management.
