As his contract came to a close, Chama penned a poignant farewell on Instagram, expressing gratitude to the club and its supporters:
"Dear Simba Team,
Six years ago, I came to you as a stranger. You gave me a purpose and challenged me to become the best version of myself. Together, we conquered this land, expanded our territory to other parts of Africa, and the rest is now history.
After six years of great joy, pride, and purpose, our intertwined fates take a different turn. I have nothing but respect for each one of you for the love and support you have given me all these years. No one can change the history that we have made together.
They say the show is not over until the fat lady sings, and I believe this 'song' is worth your time. I wish you all the best, and we shall continue seeing each other,” reads Chama’s post.
