In an unexpected revelation, Bongani Zungu has declared his exit from Mamelodi Sundowns via social media. This announcement follows his recent participation in the Nedbank Cup final against Orlando Pirates, which turned out to be his final match for Sundowns.
Zungu’s tenure at Sundowns was marked by a rigorous fitness regimen before he could make his debut. Although he wasn’t consistently featured in the midfield, he played a unique role blending centre-back and midfield duties when called upon.
The departure was made public by Zungu himself on Instagram, with no official statement from the club yet. He expressed gratitude towards the Sundowns’ fans, technical team, and president, emphasizing the personal connection he holds with the club.
Speculation about his next move is rife, considering his previous links to Kaizer Chiefs and the recent trend of players moving to Orlando Pirates. However, factors like limited playtime, salary expectations, and age might influence potential interest from these clubs.
