AmaZulu Football Club have officially secured the services of versatile defender Sandile Mthethwa (27) and experienced central midfielder Bongani Zungu (32) ahead of the second round of the Betway Premiership campaign.
The pair were warmly welcomed by club President Sandile Zungu at the AmaZulu Fan Experience on Tuesday afternoon.
Hailing from Empangeni in northern KwaZulu-Natal, Mthethwa joins AmaZulu after his recent stint with Orlando Pirates. The defender expressed his pride and determination to leave a legacy at Usuthu.
“I will do everything within my power to make my mark in the history of AmaZulu, lift my family name, and help the club return to the top four,” Mthethwa told AmaZulufc.net.
He further shared his gratitude to the club for their long-standing interest in bringing him on board.
“I’m thankful to AmaZulu for believing in me. I’ve heard there were previous attempts to sign me, and now that I’m here, I want to show my appreciation through hard work on the pitch.
“This club is close to my heart—it’s just two hours away from my hometown, Empangeni—so I feel at home already. I know the journey ahead won’t be easy, but I promise to give my all for this badge.”
Experienced midfielder Bongani Zungu, formerly of Mamelodi Sundowns and a well-travelled professional, brings invaluable experience to AmaZulu. He is excited about his role under co-coaches Arthur Zwane and Vusumuzi Vilakazi.
“My personal goal is to help the team climb as high as possible on the log table, assist the younger players, and bring my experience to the squad,” said Zungu.
The Duduza-born (East of Johannesburg) midfielder emphasized his ambition to add silverware to AmaZulu’s cabinet.
“Everywhere I’ve played, I’ve managed to win trophies, and I want to bring that same winning mentality here. I know what it takes to win, and that’s my aim.
