Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwean international footballer, Willard \u201cSalt and Vinegar\u201d Katsande has penned an emotional letter as he bade farewell to Kaizer Chiefs, the club he played for in the past 10 seasons. Said the former Warriors captain:<\/p>\n

It is with a heavy heart that I must leave my beloved Kaizer Chiefs Family. I am honoured and eternally grateful to the Chairman of the Club, Mr. Kaizer Motaung for granting me the opportunity to represent this great institution over the past 10 years.<\/p>\n

To the peace-loving fans of Kaizer Chiefs, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your support and encouragement over the years. You have consistently been the 12th Man lifting our spirits, during the good times and difficult phases. I trust that I represented the Badge and Brand with the respect and dignity that it deserves. \u201cRespect the Badge in front and the faithful will forever remember the name at the back.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am blessed beyond imagination, having represented my childhood dream Club for over 320 games, lifted four trophies and participated in the Champions League. Kaizer Chiefs is my family and will always be in my heart. The journey continues and the next chapter of my life commences.<\/p>\n

To my wonderful children, thank you for accepting Kaizer Chiefs as an integral part of our Lives. Love and Peace. #AmakhosiForLife Willard \u201cSalt and Vinegar\u201d Katsande<\/p>\n

Katsande is reportedly set to join Amazulu.<\/p>\n
