Sundowns Release Two Players

Mamelodi Sundowns have released academy products Nicholus Lukhubeni and Siyanda Nyanga.

Lukhubeni, 28, resurfaced at Marumo Gallants during pre-season after being informed his contract at Sundowns won’t be renewed.

It ended his spell with the club – where he was promoted by then-head coach Pitso Mosimane back in 2019 before five separate loan moves.

He spent time with TTM, Sekhukhune United, Maritzburg United, Moroka Swallows and Cape Town Spurs, racking up 85 appearances in the topflight.

Meanwhile, Nyanga, 23, leaves after making just two appearances for Sundowns after being promoted from the DStv Diski Challenge squad.

He spent a season in the second tier with Pretoria Callies where he made 11 appearances in the first team.

However, with competition rife in the Masandawana midfield and the emergence of Ntandoyenkosi Nkosi, the diminutive midfielder has opted to part ways in search of regular first-team football.
