AmaZulu FC have waved their goodbyes to the Maliwian striker Gabadinho Mhango amid Kaizer Chiefs transfer talk.
Last week, FARPost reported that the 30-year-old striker was set to join Kaizer Chiefs after they had agreed on a transfer fee with AmaZulu. Mhango was put on the transfer list, with Usuthu excluding him from their plans for the 2023/24 season.
The sources known to this publication confirmed last week that the striker’s switch to Naturena was imminent. And Amakhosi football manager Bobby Motaung admitted they were in the market for a striker, however, “not Gabadinho Mhango”.

The Flames talisman’s name didn’t appear in the AmaZulu’s initial list of departures when the club released a statement on Friday. But later, his name was added to a list of 14 exits. In total, AmaZulu parted ways with 15 players ahead of kicking off their new campaign.
Other exits are Lehlohonolo Majoro, Dumisani Zuma, Keagan Buchanan, Rally Bwalya, Samkelo Mgwazela, Guily Manziba, Jean-Noel Amonome, Thendo Mukumela, Lankie Khoza, Thabo Qalinge, Sbongakonke Ndlovu, Kabelo Makola, Sphelele Zulu and Jody February.
Meanwhile, AmaZulu have completed nine signings so far and are still in the market with the window only closing at the end of August.
USUTHU SIGNINGS SO FAR
They have signed Wayde Jooste, Rowan Human, Victorien Adebayor, Celimpilo Ngema, Siyanda Hlangabeza, Victor Letsoalo, Mlondi Mbanjwa, Andile Kwanele Mbanjwa, Mfanafuthi Mkhize.
Moreover, the former SuperSport United midfielder Phumlani Ntshangase has been training with the Durban-based club. He’s hoping to impress the new coach Pablo Franco Martin.
Ntshangase parted ways with Baroka FC before the end of the previous season. At the time, he was nursing an injury before he joined Maritzburg United during the pre-season. He also took part in the KZN Premier’s Cup in the Team of Choice colours.
It remains to be seen whether he’ll be added to Pablo Martin’s disposal.
