Siyethemba Sithebe’s Kaizer Chiefs Adventure Approaches After Many Months of Inactivity at AmaZulu FC

• Kaizer Chiefs will welcome new signing Siyethemba Sithebe ahead of the new season as they look to rebuild their squad
• Siyethemba Sithebe will be heading over to Kaizer Chiefs after agreeing on a deal during the transfer window
• AmaZulu FC have refused to play Siyethemba Sithebe for months after he agreed to sign for Kaizer Chiefs in January

Siyethemba Sithebe will finally make a return to competitive action when he signs for Kaizer Chiefs.

The AmaZulu midfielder has not played for the club since agreeing to join the Amakhosi in January.

The player was in the last six months of his contract with Usuthu and agreed on a deal with Chiefs to join the Soweto side when his contract ended in June.

The manner in which the deal was conducted upset AmaZulu owner, Sandile Zungu, who banned the player from ever playing for the club again.

Zungu has now confirmed that Sithebe will be leaving imminently, IOL reported.

“Sithebe is a forgone conclusion. His contract comes to an end in June and he’s going wherever he is going,” Zungu said.

The saga dominated headlines for many months but both parties can now move forward. AmaZulu will be looking to move forward to bigger and better things after announcing Brandon Truter as their new head coach, Sport24 reported.

Usuthu also secured the signature of Hellings Frank ‘Gabadinho’ Mhango for next season.

Kaizer Chiefs find themselves at the centre of more transfer news, this time angering Amazulu in the process.

Amazulu react angrily to Siyethemba Sithebe signing for Kaizer Chiefs, player never to wear team jersey again

Siyethemba Sithebe will spend the rest of the season as an outcast at Amazulu after news broke that he had signed a pre-season contract with Kaizer Chiefs.

Amazulu have reacted angrily to the news, believing that the Amakhosi approached the player before they were legally allowed to do so.

Sithebe is in the final six months of his contract with Amazulu and is therefore allowed to be approached by other clubs. However, Amazulu FC owner Sandile Zungu hit out at Chiefs for speaking to the player before the transfer window officially opened.

Coach Benni McCarthy backs Siyethemba Sithebe to play at Amazulu, contradicts club owner Sandile Zungu

Siyethemba Sithebe’s future at Amazulu remains in doubt as the transfer saga between Amazulu and Kaizer Chiefs rages on.

Sithebe agreed to join the Amakhosi at the end of the current season when his contract with the Usuthu ends, but Amazulu owner Sandile Zungu wasn’t happy with the way the Sowetan club approached the player.

Last week Zungu promised that Sithebe would never wear the Amazulu jersey again while he was at the club, but coach Benni McCarthy has a different take on the matter.
