Stabaek head coach Henning Berg is the one who made the deal done after expressing his interest to sign the Zimbabwe international.

The striker who once played in Sweden returns to Europe after spending just over a year in South Africa.

Thanks to @CapeTownCityFC for the experience over the last 2 seasons. To be involved in such a great project was an honour and will cherish the times shared with amazing people. For now my journey takes me elsewhere. Nothing but love 💙
