Meanwhile, their countryman, Ngwenya, appears to have established himself well at the club. Ngwenya joined AmaZulu FC from FC Platinum prior to the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season.
Plausibly, the 22-year-old is slowly establishing himself as a mainstay in Arthur Zwane’s strike-force. He has been reliable and forceful that Zwane has thrown him into the fray in eight league matches. However, he was injured while on Zimbabwe national duty.
