Bafana Bafana midfielder Thamsanqa Sangweni will appear in Mamelodi Sundowns colours next season, after AmaZulu agreed to sell the player to the Brazilians. 

Sangweni, who was also on the wanted list of Orlando Pirates, is expected to put pen to paper with Sundowns before the end of this week, after both clubs agreed on a transfer fee rumoured to be around R3-million yesterday.

“Everything has been finalised and the only thing left is for Sundowns to send down the papers to put everything in writing,” an AmaZulu official tells KickOff.com on condition of annonymity. 

“In principle he is a Sundowns player now.” 

Meanwhile, after securing a top eight position in the League this season Usuthu are already preparing to challenge for top honours next season. The club have signed defender Prince Hlela and striker Sifiso Vilakazi to reinforce their squad.
