Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Xola Mlambo is the latest player to have signed for AmaZulu and will be joining former teammates Augustine Mulenga and Luvuyo Memela to form part of Sandile Zungu’s revolution at the club.

The midfielder was unveiled on Monday afternoon and joins the recently acquired side from Natal, as they look to force their way into contention for silverware this season.

The playmaker was released from Pirates a couple of weeks ago as the Sea Robbers looked to lighten their congested midfield ahead of the start of the 2020-21 season, following the arrival of Thabang Monare.

The 29-year-old had also attracted the interest of TS Galaxy owner Tim Sukazi. but has now put pen to paper at Usuthu.

New AmaZulu owner Sandile Zungu is set on trying to transform the club from basement dwellers and relegation candidates to top-four hopefuls and even challengers for silverware.

The club have already made a number of quality signings, bringing in experienced pros. And, reportedly, they aren’t done yet with potential moves for Reyaad Pieterse and Lesedi Kapinga, who will find it difficult to break through at Chloorkop this season.

Thabo Rakhale is also understood to have been in KwaZulu-Natal in recent weeks and is purportedly nearing a deal.
