Zungu speaks about his ambitions next season in the video below:

According to FARPost, Zungu said the side has come close before, and he does not see any reason why they cannot win the PSL next season.

Zungu said:

"Even Mamelodi Sundowns is a great team, but we can reasonably aim to dethrone them just like all other ambitious teams must aim to dethrone them. We need to dethrone them, and someone must move them from the pinnacle they've occupied for so long. And we believe AmaZulu must raise its hand to say we want to be counted."

While AmaZulu continue to search for new players, the club is also committed to keeping star defender Riaan Hanamub.
