AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu says they tried all they could to sign Ndlondlo from Gallants but the Limpopo side was not interested.
Usuthu was interested in Ndlondlo as early as January this year. At that stage they started looking for someone to replace Siyethemba Sithebe, who left the club at the end of last season to join Kaizer Chiefs.

“In Ndlondlo, we were interested in him, but the chairman of Marumo was not interested in transacting the player to us,” Zungu told iDiski Times.
“So that is all I can say. We tabled an offer and it was all over the place. But we tabled a very good offer for Ndlondlo. And for all we know the boy wanted to come and play for AmaZulu.
“We are happy for him, he’s a great player for Pirates,” added Zungu who wants his side to reach the MTN8 final and face Pirates after drawing 1-1 with Kaizer Chiefs in the first leg of their semi final on Sunday.“But again, there are no hard feelings at all against Marumo because they were entitled to do so.”
