Durban – AmaZulu are more determined than ever to shake off their serial relegation candidates tag in the new season. First up, the Durban club has made it known that their top markman, Bongi Ntuli, is not for sale and will become a pillar which they will build their arsenal.
Ntuli enjoyed a sensational season with Usuthu as he almost single-handedly saved the club from the drop with his 13 league goals.
Ntuli has been linked with a move back to “big” Gauteng clubs. He was previously in Mamelodi Sundowns’ books. However, General Manager at AmaZulu, Lunga Sokhela, confirmed that Ntuli is not leaving the club.
“We haven’t had official offers for Mr Bongi Ntuli. He is our player. We’ve heard rumours and talks but we don’t have anything official,” said Sokhela.
“He is a critical member of our squad, especially in his position and what he brings,” Sokhela added.
Ntuli joined Usuthu on a permanent basis last season from Sundowns. Orlando Pirates were reported to be interested in signing the goal-poacher but Sokhela insisted that he is not going anywhere.
“He is still contracted with the club. We don’t have any desire to release him,” elaborated Sokhela.
