“I’m meeting him tomorrow [on Friday]‚” Kadodia said.

“We had a very open arrangement that there was supposed to be an option to renew for a year‚ but both parties must be happy.

“If one party is not happy, then obviously we will wish the party concerned the right way.

“I believe he is negotiating with Chippa United. He intends going there.

“But officially I can only do that [confirm Lentjies’s departure] after tomorrow’s meeting.

“He told me that he wants to go back to Cape Town eventually‚ and we didn’t want to stand in his way.
