Six out, seven in at AmaZulu ahead of new season

AmaZulu have confirmed the exit of six players and the arrival of seven as they make changes to their squad ahead of the new 2026/27 Betway Premiership season, where the side will be led by coach Arthur Zwane.

The club have boosted their fullback positions with the acquisitions of former Stellenbosch FC left-back Omega Mdaka and Keenan Phillips from Lamontville Golden Arrows on the right.

Midfielder Gape Moralo has arrived from Siwelele, while the club have added to their forward stocks with three new additions.

Wingers Kgomotjo Lekoloane, formerly of Stellenbosch FC, and Mcedi Vandala from Magesi FC join the club, along with striker Moses Shumah, who had a prolific season with Power Dynamos in Zambia.

Finally, Ivorian goalkeeper Faveur Kouassi has arrived from Djoliba in Mali.

Balancing those arrivals are the exits of six players.

Ghana goalkeeper Richard Ofori, defender Sphephelo Majola and midfielders Bongani Zungu and Mason Mushore, together with forwards Thabiso Kutumela and Elmo Kambindu, all depart the club.

“Looking ahead, the club will host a comprehensive media briefing led by its executive leadership, where a number of strategic and structural developments will be unveiled,” AmaZulu said in a media release.

“The briefing will provide further insight into AmaZulu FC’s long-term vision, organisational growth and plans as the club continues to build on the momentum of an encouraging 2025/26 campaign.”
