Following the announcement of a move to an Iraq Stars League club, the South African football fraternity has expressed heartfelt messages for the fans' favourite, who was once expected to re-establish himself as one of the most talented and exciting players to watch. This came after he joined Orlando Pirates following a disappointing stint with Mamelodi Sundowns and a short loan spell at Sekhukhune United. However, his flair-filled return to prominence proved short-lived at the Soweto giants, where the 28-year-old struggled for consistent game time under Abdeslam Ouaddou.
