Football Manager, Bobby Motaung who accompanied the player to Germany two weeks ago revealed to kaizerchiefs.com on Thursday, 28 July 2011 that the player will join up with his new teammates as soon as his work permit is sorted out.

Mr. Ernst Tanner, Football Director for the Hoffenheim arrived in the country this week to finalize terms.

Football Manager Bobby Motaung expressed his delight following the completion of the deal, “The negotiations between the two Clubs went very well without any glitches. Hoffenheim demonstrated a high level of professionalism. Mr. Mike Makaab also played a huge role in ensuring that the deal happens without any challenges. I would also like to acknowledge the presence of Nigel Munyati from Black Aces in Zimbabwe that nurtured the talent of Musona”

The “Smiling Assassin” as Musona is affectionately known in South Africa has been a revelation since joining the Glamour Boys at the start of 2009/2010 season and it was not a surprise when he won the Absa Premiership Top Goalscorer award at the end of 2010/2011 season.

“On behalf of Kaizer Chiefs, I would like to congratulate Knowledge (Musona) and wish him all the best in Europe. He has the blessing of the Executive Chairman, Mr. Kaizer Motaung, The Management, Technical Team and everyone at the Kaizer Chiefs Village in Naturena.

Knowledge Musona thanked the Club for providing him with an opportunity to ply his trade overseas, “I just want to thank the Club for providing me with an opportunity to come here as a youngster two years ago. I have enjoyed every minute during my stay here. The Coach, players, fans and everyone associated with the Club have been good to me. Kaizer Chiefs is without a doubt one of the biggest Clubs in the continent and it was an honour to don the gold and black. I would like to wish the team all the best during 2011/2012 season. Khosi 4 Life,”

Hoffenheim Sports Director, Ernst Tanner paid tribute to Kaizer Chiefs for the way the Club handled the negotiations, “We are glad to have signed one of the brightest talents in Africa. Musona joins us on a five year deal. He persuaded us when he was over there with us not only for his talent but he is a nice person”.

“We are certain that Hoffenheim is a right Club for him to develop his talent. We hope to integrate him to the Bundesliga. Once again I would like to thank all the parties for the professionalism they demonstrated throughout the process,” added the visibly delighted Tanner.
