However, his second season has been nothing like the first one as he was struck off the league register earlier in January following the arrival of Perfect Chikwende thus limiting his playing time.
Since then, he has featured in only a handful of CAF Champions League matches until they were bundled out by Kaizer Chiefs in the quarter-final.
Despite the limited playing time, Kahata heaped praises on Simba's French coach Didier Gomes as well as the club's management for the chance to represent Wekundu Wa Msimbazi
Kahata's career at Simba has been colourful as he won a number of trophies and even a personal accolade, kick-starting it on a high by winning three trophies in his first season.
