• The Siyethemba Sithebe transfer saga has reached a new level as Amazulu owner, Sandile Zungu is said to have 'critical evidence'
• Kaizer Chiefs have agreed to sign Siyethemba Sithebe once his contract expires but Amazulu are convinced that they did so illegally

The Siyethemba Sithebe could reach an end as Amazulu owner, Sandile Zungu, is understood to have evidence against Kaizer Chiefs.

The Amazulu boss was gathering evidence to prove that Kaizer Chiefs had spoken to Siyethemba Sithebe before they were legally allowed to do so.

Sithebe agreed to join the Amakhosi at the end of the season, as he was in the final six months of his contract with the Usuthu.

But as The Citizen reports, Zungu has ‘critical evidence’ to prove that the Amakhosi approached the player earlier, hence he rejected a new contract at Amazulu when he was offered one.
