An incredible 15 players have been officially released from AmaZulu including two players who had already signed agreements to go to Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, respectively.
Siyethemba Sithebe’s ordeal at Amazulu is finally over as he will now be allowed to join Kaizer Chiefs.
Sithebe will need to get back up to speed and will have to work hard to bed into a Kaizer Chiefs team in transition.
Tapelo Xoki has been snapped up by Orlando Pirates having also signed a pre-contract with the club during the latter stages of his deal.
“Tapelo Xoki has been acquired by Orlando Pirates while Sithebe has opted to not extend his contract with AmaZulu. As for the others, the club decided not to renew their contracts in view of our endeavours to rebuild for success in the forthcoming 2022/2023,” said Sandile Zungu.

Amazulu to make a barrage of signings
Amazulu club President Sandile Zungu has revealed that the club intend to sign as many as eight players with announcements currently loading.
“We will announce the names of at least eight players who will be joining Usuthu in the coming days.
“The club can also confirm the departure of assistant coach Vasili Manousakis and goalkeeper coach Moeneeb Josephs.
“We would like to thank all the players and the afore-mentioned members of the technical team for their service and wish them the best in their future endeavours.” Zungu added.
Amazulu finished 7th in the DStv Premiership last season, failing to back up a second place finish the year before. That failure cost Benni McCarthy his job, but the club remain ambitious.
