Malawi international midfielder Gerald Phiri Jnr has received his South African permanent residence permit and he will be registered as a South African local player.

Bidvest Wits CEO Jose Ferreira has confirmed that the former Mighty Wanderers star has received the South African permanent resident permit.

Ferreira added that the player is now free to start playing for the club but he will be registered next season.

“Everything has been sorted. He is back but will only be registered next season,” Ferreira was quoted by the KickOff.com.

Phiri joined Bidvest from Zimbabwe’s giants Caps United at the start of this season but he is yet to kick a ball in South Africa as he was delayed in being granted the permanent residence permit.

Phiri will be registered as a local player since he was born to a South African father as a result he qualifies to be registered as a South African local player.

  2. Being granted a permanent residence permit doesnt mean, that you cease to be the citizen of your home country. There alot of malawians in South africa who hav such papers but they are still citizens of malawi. There are even some who hav SA IDs but they are still regarded as foreigners. If you ask former flames players like patrick mabedi, John maduka you hear that they hav permanent residence permits but they are still malawians.

    1. kumalawi sitilora dual citizenship ask peter about green card ngati uli ndi id ku south africa ndekuti ndiye citizenship apikane?

    2. But this is just a permanent residence permit. It can also be issued to me. Its just that now ali ndi mwayi oti akhoza kupanga apply citizenship.

  3. Which means he will spend his whole life responding as a second class citizen because as far as I know the RSA society can never fully accept a foreign national to enjoy life fully as they do.

    1. losing in which way hahahaha permanent residence doesn’t mean dual citizen u think mabongani ndiopusa eti palibe chomwe angapange uyu ZAIZAI or YIZOYIZO or KWEREKWERE

  8. kkkkkk even ma looks ake akuyenera kumpatsa permit……. good luck boy ur not the first anayamba ndi awa: Zidane, pogba, sterling, Lukaku even Boateng

  9. akagwere….why? he thinks is the only player malawi can look up to? though we performe badly but still more replacement. What is southafrica after all?

    1. i value your imputs but read again the story. dont be taken up by RSA coz you have to explore opputunities where you are based even in your native country.

    2. kkkkkk pakuvutilapo kumvetsatu apa shaaaaa..limbikani mzamva has a permanent residence but he still plays for malawi…permanent residence does not block u representing your country brothers.
