Sundowns announce Bongani Zungu signing at packed Loftus Stadium
Bafana Bafana player Bongani Zungu has joined DStv Premiership defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
The signing of Zungu, who is returning to Sundowns for the second time, was announced in a most stylish way in front of a sold-out affair between the defending champs and Kaizer Chiefs at Loftus Stadium in Tshwane on Saturday.
It was announced by club chair Thlopie Motsepe just before kickoff to a welcoming roar from thousands of Masandawana fans.
The 29-year-old has been without a club since he officially parted ways with French side Amiens SC in July.
The talented midfielder left SA in 2016 after a successful spell with Sundowns and went to ply his trade in Portugal for Vitoria de Guimaraes.
He did well in Portugal and secured a move to France a year later.
When Amiens were relegated from Ligue 1 in 2020, Zungu was loaned to Scottish giants Rangers and he returned to the French club a year later.
