Downs Prepare For Usuthu Cautious Of Zungu's Influence

The Mamelodi Sundowns camp is wary of potential influence of their former man Bongani Zungu, as they prepare to take on AmaZulu.

The two teams, competing at opposite ends of the table, will clash at the Moses Mabhida Stadium today at 3pm. Usuthu welcomed new man Zungu to their gunkraal recently as a free agent following months of uncertainty around his next move.

The 32-year-old departed the Brazilians at the end of last season and is now in line to make his debut for his new club against a club he served with distinction over two stints. One man who had been with Ben10 in those years at the Chloorkop based outfit is midfielder Siphelele Mkhulise.

The KwaZulu-Natal born Mkhulise previewed his sides visit to Durban and expressed that although he doesnt expect his ex-partner to feature for a full 90 minutes, he and his teammates are well aware of the type of impact Zungu could have on proceedings.

Bongani is a very good player and we all know that hes very good, so he will add value to AmaZulu. I think we need to be aware and ready for anything because we dont know how much of a contribution he will be asked to make but hes very good and we know what he can do on the day, he said.
