As The Kosibay news website reported in August, Amakhosi recalled the 24-year-old Burundian to sign for the Glamour Boys after coach Arthur Zwane reportedly decided against signing him.
The towering center forward has since made started two games, including two substitute appearances against the likes AmaZulu and Marumo Gallants.
