“The first person I called was my mother, who was sitting with my father, and they both jumped for joy and celebrated that I would be joining my father in continuing the legacy of the Club,” he told the club’s website.
“The fact that he came before me adds a bit of pressure for me, but it’s something I grew up with, so I’m used to it.”
The former Cape Town City frontman also had a message for the Khosi faithful about how he hopes to contribute this term.
“My aim is for the fans to have a wonderful season with me involved in the team,” he added.
“You can expect my best efforts to score goals for the team and work hard to help the Club deliver success for our amazing supporters, creating unforgettable memories. Amakhosi 4 Life!”
