AmaZulu have strengthened their squad after confirming the signings of Bongani Zungu and Sandile Mthethwa.

Mthethwa and Zungu join the club as free agents on a permanent basis after the pair successfully passed their medicals.

Mthethwa brings experience having previously played for KZN Academy, Orlando Pirates and Richards Bay United.

The 27-year-old has scored six goals and assisted two in 85 appearances across all competitions.

“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.”

Zungu has vast experience playing for Dynamos FC, University of Pretoria, Mamelodi Sundowns, Vitória Guimarães SC, Amiens SC, and Rangers.

The 32-year-old has scored 15 goals and registered 12 assists in 278 appearances in all competitions.

“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.

“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.

“I’m also thrilled to be coached by Arthur Zwane and Vusi Vilakazi. I’ve watched AmaZulu’s games, and the team plays the modern game. My understanding of the game will help the team, but I know I have to work hard to earn my place.”
