Free-agent Bongani Zungu offered advice after Rhulani Mokwena rejection at Wydad AC - ex-Mamelodi Sundowns star won't 'would fit at Kaizer Chiefs' but ex-Orlando Pirates midfielder Xola Mlambo is an example

Former Mamelodi Sundowns captain Hlompho Kekana has shared a word of advice to a free agent star Bongani Zungu after a failed move to Rhulani Mokwena's Wydad Athletic Club. 

The 32-year-old midfielder trained with the Moroccan Botola Pro League side for at least two weeks hoping to secure a deal, but Mokwena's side eventually decided against signing him. 

Kekana offered his former teammate some advice as the experienced midfield maestro continues to look for a new team. 

"Why here at home teams can't sign a quality player like Bongani Zungu? I don't know, but I am a bit worried when I look at a player of Bongani's caliber struggling to find a team," Kekana said on SoccerZone. 

"I believe so many teams need him, there are a lot of teams that I believe need his experience. I was going to say Kaizer Chiefs need him but after not having played for I think six months, I don't think he would fit at Kaizer Chiefs at this moment.

"There are teams he can go to, the likes of Polokwane City, and revive himself, I see Xola Mlambo hasn't been playing for two years, he came back with Marumo Galants and he is trying to revive himself. I think Zungu needs to take that path and come back stronger."

Zungu has been unattached since parting ways with Sundowns via mutual consent at the end of the 2023/24 season. 

Since going separate ways with the Tshwane giants, he has also been linked with several PSL teams including Kaizer Chiefs. 

Recently, some fans and football pundits have been suggesting that Amakhosi should sign him to replace an injured Edson Castillo. 

However, it appears that the Glamour Boys mentor Nasreddine Nabi, who joined the team just before this season, is not interested in the Duduza-born star. 

Zungu remains unattached and he will continue to train on his own as he hopes for new opportunities.

The former Bafana Bafana international can join any team even before the upcoming January transfer as he is a free agent.
