“He has informed us about that. He is still contracted to us. We will sit down and discuss (about) his interest. He knows that we had a plan for him after his football career here at AmaZulu but we won’t stand on his way. We will make a proper statement during the day about the latest on Khenyeza, ” Dlamini explained.

United chairman Farook Kadodia confirmed that they are talking to Khenyeza.
