But the Black Dolphins have added the DR Congo international to the list of players set for new contracts with the club.
Kabwe has confirmed he has left Vita, having enjoyed fantastic form that earned him a call-up to the DR Congo national team.
"We separated amicably. The club gave me a release letter. I am now ready to receive offers as life goes on," said Kabwe, as quoted by FootRDC.
Kabwe has been heavily linked with a possible move to Msimbazi Reds for the past two months, although he previously denied any knowledge of the reports.
