Mosimane said, “Khama is in a different space now, We’ve offered him a new deal but he’s not taking it. I think he is leaving. Okay, he is not saying it but you’ve got to accept it. I haven’t given up on Khama and he knows it. But you see I can’t say to him don’t go to Europe. If he goes to Europe, he must go because that will be good for him. If he is going to get more money than we can offer, he must go.”
