It did not take long for George Maluleka to find himself a team, signing on with Amazulu.

The 33-year-old midfielder's contract at Mamelodi Sundowns expired at the end of last month, having barely featured for the DStv Premiership champions since joining them from Kaizer Chiefs in 2020. He did win a Treble with them in 2021/22 and the league in 2021, but only made 19 appearances for the Brazilians in that time.
