Swallows official Sipho Xulue said:

“He did not agree with certain things in our handbook and he was taken to a hearing. The club felt that he was influencing players otherwise and as a result, he was destabilising the team. A decision was taken to terminate his contract and he appealed.

"Whilst the club was considering his appeal, he changed his mind and requested his clearance from the club and that’s how he left and joined TS Galaxy.”

Mere had not yet commented on the matter.
