Bongani Zungu, who was recently linked with Kaizer Chiefs, is reportedly closing in on a new club for next season.
Zungu recently left Mamelodi Sundowns at the end of the previous season, becoming the first exit of the window.
Strangely enough, Zungu was on hand to announce his own parting of ways at Sundowns through his social media. It was unexpected and strange that the player was the one to put the news out before the club released an official statement. Zungu joined Masandwana two seasons ago but had to go through an extensive fitness regime before finally making his debut. The delay probably took its toll, as he was never a regular in the midfield, by the time he was deemed fully fit. When he did play, however, he was often used in a centre-back-midfield hybrid role.
Chiefs were linked with Zungu
Before joining Sundowns for his second stint, Zungu was heavily linked to Chiefs. This especially when he had just one year left on his deal at French side Amiens. But after he came back to the country, he opted to go back to his former side Masandawana. This was attributed to the good relationship he shares with their former coach Rulani Mokwena.
Speculation that Chiefs had revived their interest in Zungu began to resurface suddenly recently. That was heightened by the player posting on his Instagram story that he had landed in Istanbul. That was at a time where Amakhosi had also moved their Turkish base to the capital city. It then emerged that the former Bafana Bafana player had travel four hours and 36 minutes away from the city.
Later on, Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jnr took to his official ‘X’ account to quash links to Zungu. Now according to Unplayable, he is set to join his former coach Rulani Mokwena at Wydad Casablanca.
Now set to join Wydad Casablanca?
“???????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????
#UNPLAYABLE can confirm Bongani Zungu is close to joining Wydad Casablanca.
“His medical was done… he’s going to be one of many signings by the club,” says our source”. They posted on their official ‘X’ account.
That could spell the end of yet another Chiefs-Zungu saga, as Wydad Casablanca now seem like his new club. Amakhosi fans, would you have loved to see the player at your club? Feel free to leave your thoughts and feelings below.
