AmaZulu have announced seven new signings for Arthur Zwane on Tuesday evening, including former Kaizer Chiefs youngster Omega Mdaka as reported by this publication.
Usuthu finished fourth last season and will hope to build on that campaign in 2026/27, and are currently in a pre-season training camp in Johannesburg.
As part of a minor squad revamp, AmaZulu announced several new players this evening.
“Joining Usuthu are promising left-back Omega Mdaka (23) from Stellenbosch FC, alongside his former Stellies teammate and highly rated winger Khomotjo Lekoloane (28),” the club stated.
“Dynamic midfielder Mncedi Vandala (29) arrives from Magesi FC, while experienced right-back Keenan Phillips (26) joins after his spell with Lamontville Golden Arrows.
“The midfield is further bolstered by the signing of Gape Moralo (26) from Siwelele FC, while the club has also secured the services of Faveur Kouassi (24), an Ivorian goalkeeper who joins from Malian outfit Djobila AC to add depth and competition between the posts.
“Completing AmaZulu FC’s recruitment drive is highly rated Kenyan striker Moses Shumah (23), who joins the club following a prolific spell with Zambian Premier League champions Power Dynamos. Shumah arrives in Durban on the back of an outstanding 2025/26 campaign, having found the back of the net 23 times in all competitions.”
AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu expressed his confidence in the new arrivals and the club’s recruitment strategy.
“All seven signings form part of a carefully considered recruitment drive as we prepare for the 2026/27 season,” he stated.
“We are confident they possess the quality, character and ambition to contribute positively to our objectives both on and off the field.
“On behalf of the AmaZulu Football Club family, I warmly welcome each of them and wish them every success in the green and white. We trust they will enjoy a rewarding journey with Usuthu and forge lasting relationships with their teammates, our supporters and everyone associated with this great club.”
