Following his transfer to Molde FK in Norway, the 21-year-old became yet another player to leave The Rockets for Europe.
Dolly, who spent four years at Montpellier in France, believes this is a great opportunity for Kabini to make a name for himself.
"I think when I speak to the youngsters, I always say that you wanna be part of the national team set up because it exposes you even more when you play these games, these qualifiers,” Dolly said.
“There's a lot of people that watch these games, so your chances are even higher when you are in the Bafana set up and Samkelo, I just told him that he just needs to be open minded and go there and try to learn and try to involve himself in the culture and the people and try to at least learn the language as well and stay grounded and the person he is and just try not settle for Norway, if he can work hard enough, he can find better clubs in Europe."
Beganovic says Kabini, who was only in his second season in topflight football, earned the R15-million club record switch.
"I'm so proud because he deserves to go, to try to play in one of the best leagues in the world. Norway has a great league, great players and I think he has a great opportunity to represent first of all ourselves, then he needs to represent the club, us and then he needs to represent the country because I think it's not only about him, I think we opened a door for many players to go to Europe to show great talent, actually that helps our players," Beganovic said.
The coach adds that the deal also opens the door for Galaxy over a few more deals in that market going forward.
"It's very important for me, it's very important for the club, we have our goal in the club, we have our politics and then we just follow the structure on what we need to do,” the coach added.
“We need to produce our young players and sell, not only for Europe, yes, it's a big success if we have an opportunity to sell our best players for Europe but also for this country and we have shown in the last two and a half years, how many players we produced."
