The Chilli Boys have not only been busy in the current transfer period, which officially only opens on July 1, but have also made it a habit of snapping up Ezenkosi's personnel.
Makobela spent five years at Cosmos, and could not move on without a word of thanks to the club boss and mentor.
“There was a time when he [Sono] did not entertain any offers from clubs that were looking for my services," he reflected.
"I want to thank him and everyone at Jomo Cosmos for the contribution they have made to my development.
”I received an encouraging message from Mr Sono himself, wishing me all the best at Chippa United."
