This comes after Chiefs released the defender this week following the expiry of his contract with the club.
Speaking on Sports Night Amplified with Andile this week, Ntshangase said Chiefs could have told him and Hlanti earlier that they are not going to renew his contract.
We did engage the club to try to find out where they headed with Hlanti and what their thinking is, but we were not getting a direct response, said Ntshangase.
The team told Hlanti that he served them well this season in the last week of the games, but they said they will have to wait for the incoming coach to come to assess him and make a decision.
Chiefs are said to be eyeing Stellenbosch FCs Fawaaz Basadien and Rushwin Dortley of Cape Town Spurs as possible replacements for Hlanti.
