• Amazulu is believed to have captured the signature of sidelined Orlando Pirates Gabadinho Mhango according to media reports
• This was hot on the heels of another report stating that Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza had given his blessings for Mhango to leave the club
• The acquisition showed Usuthu's intent to shore its stocks up front, having already looked to the lower leagues for added firepower

Amazulu has acquired the signature of Orlando Pirates striker Gabadinho Mhango in an unexpected but bold move.

The club is also expected to confirm bringing in another attacker in the form JDR Stars striker Ishmael Vadi. The Zimbabwean Vadi struck nine times for the side in the GladAfrica Championship this past season.

According to Kick Off, a source close to the deal said that Pirates and Usuthu have finalised all details of the transfer that will see Mhango wear the green of AmaZulu next season.

According to the publication, when contacted for a confirmation, AmaZulu FC president Sandile Zungu said it was still too early after the conclusion of the season to comment on any incomings or outgoings to the club.

Mhango had just been given blessings by Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza to depart the club, as per Soccer Laduma yesterday. It was tough going for him at Pirates this past season, with the arrival of co-coaches Mandla Ncikazi and Fadlu Davids resulting in him riding the bench for most of the campaign.

Ironically, Mhango was one of the breakout players at the 2021 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon, where he scored one of the goals of the tournament for Malawi as The Flames reached the Last 16 for the very first time.
