Lunga's trophy cabinet at Sundowns

Since making the move from Golden Arrows to Sundowns in 2021, Lunga has accumulated considerable honours at the Chloorkop-based club.

He has won four PSL league titles and was part of the squad that claimed the CAF Champions League title in May, the club's second triumph in the continental competition.
