We understand her as we haven’t payed her dues for some months but not the 29 months she was claiming. We really talked hoping that she would change her mind but she had made up her mind. She has left our team at the peak of her career and it’s sad because we were sure of securing her a place in Europe based on how the club has marketed itself not only in Africa but on the globe. Situma was very ripe for Europe but since she hasn’t told us where she is heading to we have no option but to wish her all the best. I feel that it wasn’t her self-mind, I think it was a push from rival clubs which are thirsting for her. It’s our hope that wherever she is heading to she will grow her career,” Senelwa said as quoted on Citizen Digital.
