The big Colombian was offered 454 minutes (13 appearances) but came out with blanks, forcing the Soweto giants not to take up the option of turning his loan into a permanent move.
This meant a return to Bolivian parent club Real Santa Cruz.
Six goals in 16 appearances in the 2024 Bolivian Primera Division Clausura have been encouraging considering his awful run at Amakhosi, but that could all count for nothing.
Following a 7-1 hammering on Sunday away at Club Deportivo Aurora, Real Santa Cruz now sit bottom of the aggregate table which determines the two teams to be relegated at the end of the season.
There are six games remaining for Real Santa Cruz to save themselves from relegation to the Nacional B league.

Santa have had five coaches in the last 12 months, with the latest being Marcelo Straccia.
Prior to joining Chiefs, Gonzalez had been the top scorer at Santa Cruz.
