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.
