After leaving Chiefs, Manyama had returned to City in hopes of securing a move, however, failure to fully recover from a knee injury forced the attacker into retirement.
Meanwhile, City will be looking for their first win in four league matches when they take on TS Galaxy on Wednesday at Mbombela Stadium.
