The 33-year-old, speaking to Isolezwe finally broke his silence on claims from coach Sead Ramovic that he was not as committed to Galaxy as he was expected to be.
"He didn't say anything to me about my determination and the way I did things when I was still in the team. I was surprised when I saw in the news that he spoke like this. That's how he feels, I'm sorry. We agreed well with the team to part ways. Things didn't work. That happens in football. I don't understand what he said Where did it come from? I'm shocked," Vilakazi said.
The former Sundowns star did admit that his child's illness contributed to him spending some time away from the team, however, he returned to the club, and he was subsequently banished to the DStv Diski side.
"My child's illness disturbed me a lot. It got to the point where we couldn't sleep anymore. He was fainting and convulsing. At night this thing has been happening to him 10 to 14 times. We had to take him out of school. This continued even when he was in the hospital.
"I came back to continue with the team even though he had not recovered before the trip to Turkey. In January, things started to improve. That's when I also started to be able to focus on football. We played against Swallows, after that the coach told me not to come to the gym the next day.
"I humbled myself, I apologized to him and to all the people that I may have disappointed or saw that I wasn't giving myself. But the coach told me that he doesn't need me because of the way he plays and the tactics he uses, he told me to speak to Tim Sukazi. I said goodbye, we shook hands. That's when I left the team," Vila continued.
