Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Siyabonga Ngezana has broken his silence on his surprise move from Amakhosi to Romanian giants FCSB.
The 25-year-old will join the Romanian Liga 1 side once he has received his visa after signing a five-year deal.

Ngezana himself took to Instagram, to pen an emotional farewell message to his teammates, former coaches, Chiefs’ leadership and the club’s faithful.
“I had many mixed emotions about the decision I took for my future,” he wrote.

“Growing up supporting this team it as a dream come true to be the part of it. The experiences of highs and lows created great memories of brotherhood.
“I will never put into words the love and support I got from this family of Kaizer Chiefs and the fans since day one till this day of my departure.
“Thanks to the coaches who coached me in the past for guidance and the words of wisdom likes of coach Steve Komphela, Giovanni Solinas, Ernst Middendorp, Gavin Hunt, Dillon Shepard and Arthur Zwane.
