The decision is reportedly mutual, signaling a departure from Mayfair for the 30-year-old forward, whose time with the club did not unfold as anticipated.

The Cameroonian striker joined Orlando Pirates amid high expectations, having showcased his goal-scoring prowess with an impressive record of 10 goals in 29 games for Chippa United during the 2021/22 season.
