The 28-year-old shot-stopper brought his six-year tenure at Naturena to an end, having made a total of 34 appearances in all competitions while keeping 19 clean sheets in the process.

‘Thank you to the Kaizer Chiefs family, it’s been a great six years,’ Khuzwayo said.

‘Thank you to the chairman [Kaizer Motaung] for giving me an opportunity, thank you to Bob Steak [football manager Bobby Motaung] for giving me an opportunity.

‘Ngibonga amafans [I thank the supporters] for the love they have shown to me. Ngiyabonga ngenhliziyo emhlophe [I thank you with a pure heart].’

Fare the well Nhlanhla!!!!
