AmaZulu FC have signaled their intentions for the upcoming 2025/26 Betway Premiership campaign by executing a massive squad overhaul. Underlining their ambition to break into the league’s top three, Usuthu have officially confirmed seven new signings while simultaneously clearing the decks with six player departures.
The recruitment drive features a strategic blend of elite continental firepower and proven local South African talent. Headlining the arrivals is lethal Kenyan international forward Moses Shumah, who lands in Durban fresh off a spectacular Golden Boot-winning campaign with Power Dynamos, where he racked up 21 league goals. He is joined by Ivorian attacker Faveur Kouassi, while defensive and midfield reinforcements include highly-rated prospects Omega Mdaka and Kgomotjo Lekoloane from Stellenbosch FC, alongside Gape Moralo, Mncedi Vandala, and Keenan Phillips.
To make way for the incoming talent, the club has sanctioned the exits of several high-profile veterans. Former Bafana Bafana midfield anchor Bongani Zungu and experienced Ghanaian international goalkeeper Richard Ofori headline the departures. The club has also said goodbye to Thabiso Kutumela, Sphephelo Majola, Mason Mushore, and Elmo Kambindu as Arthur Zwane reshapes his tactical blueprint for the new season.
