According to City’s statement on Twitter, Juma will receive his work permit this week and fly to Cape Town on the 8th of January, where he will meet his new teammates and begin preparing for Cape Town City’s domestic and CAF campaigns.
Club coach Benni McCarthy says they are building a team that can score goals.
“We’ve had to rely on our possessional dominance to win games. Most of our goals come from midfielders. We’re building a team for the future so it’s nice to start putting together a group of young promising strikers who can score goals for the club going forward,” says McCarthy on the club’s Twitter page.
