The former Orlando Pirates star found himself at the centre of intense speculation after his name dominated headlines amid swirling rumours of a controversial switch to Naturena following his departure from the Buccaneers and subsequent loan spell at Stellenbosch. Now a free agent, and after a spell of silence during a media storm surrounding his future, the forward has broken his silence to set the record straight on the Amakhosi links.

The former Buccaneers defender has officially brought the curtain down on his time with the Sea Robbers to embark on a fresh chapter in the Western Cape. The move to Stellenbosch is being hailed as a defining moment for the versatile star as he looks to reinvent himself away from Soweto.

The 29-year-old forward has spoken out about his departure from the Buccaneers, describing his exit from the Soweto giants as challenging. The Bafana Bafana international was the headline name among several high-profile departures following the conclusion of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season.

The transfer race for the highly-rated forward has taken a dramatic turn as North African interest begins to solidify around the frontman. While domestic rivals Amakhosi have long been linked with a move for the striker, a lucrative opportunity in Morocco could now tempt him away from the Premier Soccer League altogether.
