AmaZulu’s next assignment in the Betway Premiership is the task they’ll have on their hands when they travel to face Cape Town City at the DHL Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Kick-off is at 15h30 CAT.

After a disappointing last minute loss to league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, AmaZulu will hope to dust themselves off and get back to winning ways.

The team has won three out of their last five league matches, which is an indicator that there’s been a significant improvement in results.

Usuthu has also welcomed new additions to the squad in Bongani Zungu and Sandile Mthethwa.

Ahead of the game, Mthethwa says that joining AmaZulu is one of the best decisions he has made and he wants to give more than he did at his former club Orlando Pirates.

“I think the most important thing that played a part is that the club wanted me and also as you are saying it’s KZN-based [team],” said Mthethwa.

“It’s close, it’s two hours away from home. This is my new home and I think what I did at Pirates is something that I started doing at AmaZulu because they are the club that were willing to give me an opportunity and who believed in me.”
