Despite AmaZulu releasing a statement to the contrary, Brilliant Khuzwayo says he has not signed for Kaizer Chiefs – and does not want to sit on the bench. 

AmaZulu released a statement yesterday that Khuzwayo has been sold to Naturena and will turn up for Amakhosi next season.

However, the youngster says he has not received a word, either from Usuthu or Amakhosi management.

“I was surprised when I received messages on Facebook congratulating me for a move to Kaizer Chiefs,” Khuzwayo says. 

“I was surprised because no one from Kaizer Chiefs or AmaZulu spoke to me about the deal … I only read in the newspapers that I have signed for Kaizer Chiefs!”

Khuzwayo confirms to KickOff.com that he has received offers from other PSL teams, but says he does not want to move to a team where he will just sit on the bench.

“I want to go and play in a team where I will challenge for the number-one jersey and not just for second choice. 

“I know Khune is regarded as the number-one goalkeeper in South Africa, but according to my own opinion I am also one of the best goalkeepers in the land!”

Khuzwayo spent last season on loan to Thanda Royal Zulu, and still has two years left on his contract with Usuthu.
