Speaking to Robert Marawa on the Marawa Sports Worldwide show this week, Gabuza took a moment to reveal the special way in which the move away from Bucs occurred.

Marawa responded saying: “No transfer fee?”

“No, angifun’ uqamba amanga,” [I don’t want to lie] the 34-year-old Gabuza said. 

“I don’t know what happened. There was just something. Some kind of transfer. I don’t know.”
