Majoro is a PSL veteran very well-known amongst Amakhosi fans. While Mphahlele is a former Bucs captain and Buchanan made a name for himself launching his career off at Naturena. Majoro has already left with immediate effect.

However, none of these men have been linked with a return to Naturena.

Majoro is now 36 years old. So, he is too old to be of interest to Arthur Zwane and Amakhosi management.

The same can be said ex-Amakhosi captain, Mphahlele, who is now 33. The youngest of the three players being released is Buchanan, who is 30. However, even this is older than the age range Zwane is looking to invest in. Therefore, none of these three players are likely to be seen at Naturena again.

Truth be told, Majoro is going to struggle to find a club at 36.

Moreover, the PSL veteran is no longer in his prime and he could end up retiring at the end of the season. However, it must be noted that he has not made an official announcement on the status of his career at the time of writing.

“We will not enter into a new contract with them. These are excellent players, senior players who have done well, especially Majoro has done a lot for AmaZulu over the years,” the source added.
