Orlando Pirates announced on Monday afternoon that they had released Zimbabwean Terrence Dzvukamanja to go join SuperSport United.
The Buccaneers also announced that Dzvukamanja had initially asked to be released so that he could go back to Zimbabwe where he comes from.
“Terrence Dzvukamanja approached the club pleading to be released to play in Zimbabwe to be close to home in order to address pressing family matters. After consideration, the club offered to pay his salary whilst sorting out his personal issues at home. The club acceded to this on compassionate grounds,”a Pirates statement said.
“As part of the club’s commitment to players’ welfare, Orlando Pirates makes an effort to, where possible, meet the players’ requests in circumstances that help amongst other things, their mental wellbeing. The club was therefore surprised by an approach from SuperSport United for the player’s services since the club had made plans to include the player in their CAF Champions League squad. With this new development, the Club will release Dzvukamanja to SuperSport United.”
The 29-year-old Dzvukamanja, who was born in Chegutu, Zimbabwe, joined the Buccaneers from Bidvest Wits in 2020.
