Mulenga was among the 15 players that left Usuthu who are in the process of refreshing the squad following what a below par season for them.

But Mulenga said he was assured of a new contract by AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu, and he was happy that he was staying at the Durban-based club.

And he was shocked when he was given his clearance by Usuthu, and he has asked the Zungu’s to help him until he’s back on his feet.

The reason for his appeal is that Mulenga is still nursing an injury, and he admitted that it’s going to be difficult for him to find a new club, and his family will suffer financially.

“To be honest, the conversation we had with Mr. Zungu, the President, when I spoke to him, there was a time with us players, we had one on one meetings with him – he told me he wants to renew my contract, he still wants me, he wanted me to stay at AmaZulu and I said I’m happy and would love to continue my journey,” said Mulenga on Metro FM as per iDiski Times.

“He said he will talk to my manager and when my manager told me he’s received my clearance, I was shocked because I’m injured, it’s not because I’m bad and I thought how am I going to find another team while I’m injured. In my mind I knew the president said he was going to renew my contract, which is okay, he’s the owner but my concern is me, I’m injured.

“I’m just appealing to them to help me get back on my feet until I get back on to my feet, I have kids, family and people who depend on me, it’s going to be difficult for me and those people, I won’t have money to help them and their needs.”
