“We were happy when James joined us,” Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung told the club’s official website. 

“Unfortunately, football has its own dynamics. James didn’t play and we felt that we had to split amicable.”

Kotei added: “I (would) like to thank the club’s Chairman, Kaizer Motaung, for the warm reception he gave me and also Bobby Motaung for the love and care he showed me. Even though I wasn’t successful at Kaizer Chiefs, the love and unity were there. I hugely admire the professionalism of the club. I really hope that Kaizer Chiefs will become champions this season.”
