Bathusi Aubaas (born 14 May 1995) is a South African soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Mamelodi Sundowns in the Premier Soccer League.
He made his breakthrough with TS Galaxy in the 2018–19 season. Despite the team playing in the second tier, they won the 2018–19 Nedbank Cup. The club owner bought the first-tier licence of Highlands Park, moving TS Galaxy up one tier. Aubaas subsequently made his first-tier debut in the 2020–21 South African Premier Division.[1][2]
He was called up for South Africa for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification, where he made his international debut against Morocco.[2] The selection of the relatively unknown Aubaas had its critics, but Aubaas performed well as Morocco was beaten.[3]
At the end of July 2023, Aubaas was sold from TS Galaxy to one of South Africa's three major clubs. TS Galaxy owner Tim Sukazi confirmed the transfer, but not which club was involved.[4][5] On 2 August 2023, it was announced that the club Aubass signed for was the Mamelodi Sundowns.[6]
