As I close this chapter of my life, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude.
To Coach Mandla Qhogi and Mxolisi Mngomezulu — thank you for giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dream. You believed in me and gave me the platform to grow.
To Coach Joseph Makhanya — you’ve been more than just a coach; you’ve been a true father figure. Your guidance has shaped me not only as a player but as a man.
And to the man who made me the person I am today — Coach Jose Riveiro — thank you. Your influence on my journey has been immeasurable, and I will carry your lessons with me wherever I go.
I’m filled with mixed emotions. There’s sadness in leaving behind the only football home I’ve ever known, but also excitement for the journey that lies ahead.
I’ve grown as a player, but even more importantly, I’ve grown as a person. I’m proud and honored to have won my first major cup with Orlando Pirates. The memories we’ve created, and the friendships formed here will last a lifetime.
To the fans — thank you for your unwavering support. Your cheers, your chants, your passion, and even your constructive criticism — all of it fueled me every single step of the way. I’ll never forget the electric atmosphere you created on match days. It was a privilege to play for you.
To the chairman, the staff, the technical team, and all the players, past and present — thank you. Your dedication, hard work, and contributions have left a lasting impact on me.
As I begin this new chapter, I do so with the values, lessons, and memories I’ve gained from this incredible club. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to wear the black and white and be part of the rich history of The Mighty Buccaneers.
Thank you for an unforgettable time.
