Makazole Mapimpi is preparing to leave the Springboks at the end of the year.
The 31-year-old wing has been a key player for the Springboks since making his debut in 2018, scoring 24 tries in 29 Tests.
However, he has been linked with a move to Japan or France in recent months, and it is now understood that he has decided to leave South Africa.
Mapimpi's departure will be a blow to the Springboks, who are already without Cheslin Kolbe and Sbu Nkosi.
However, the Springboks have a number of young wingers coming through, such as Canan Moodie and Kurt-Lee Arendse, who are likely to be given a chance to shine in Mapimpi's absence.
