Zondo's last coaching gig was back in 2015, when he was coach of Royal Eagles, the predecessors of Royal AM. His other jobs were also with Bay United, Bloemfontein Celtic and Golden Arrows, where he rose to prominence for the entertaining style of play by Abafana Bes'thende.

John Maduka threw the club's plans into a tailspin after suddenly quitting as coach in early June. The 50-year-old Malawian mentor had guided Thwihli Thwahla to a surprise third-place finish in the DStv Premiership, which saw the team qualify for next season's CAF Confederations Cup competition.

This caught club owner Shauwn "MaMkhize" Mkhize off-guard, with the businesswoman and socialite saying that she had to cut a trip overseas in a frantic hurry to try find a new coach.
