I believe there is time for everything; this is another time for me to say bye to the Bullets family. A deal is sealed, and I am now a Venda player. My three-year deal I signed with Bullets has to be cut short,” he wrote.
“To players, I will certainly miss you guys. You helped me to win [the] Golden Boot and keep scoring. Together we achieved a lot. I will miss you. Let me wish you well in the new season.
“To fans, you always come to the stadium in large numbers. That noise was enough. I [will] miss you, Maule.
“To coaches, it was a great moment working with you. You made me be a proper player. May God bless you. God over everything.”
