Themba Zwane: Mamelodi Sundowns announce major contract news about Bafana Bafana vice-captain ahead of Fifa Club World Cup

Themba Zwane has penned a new deal with Mamelodi Sundowns that will keep him at Chloorkop until the 2025/26 season.

The Masandawana skipper's contract was due to extend in June 2025 before the club extended his stay.

“Mshishi is here to stay! Captain Themba Zwane has penned a contract extension, keeping him at the Club beyond the 2024/25 season,” Sundowns announced.

Zwane has been injured since October 2024 and Masandawana were delaying in offering a new deal to see his recovery process.

Now, the Bafana Bafana vice-captain is already involved in full training and the club sees a future in him.

However, at 35, the Brazilians could not commit to tabling a long-term deal.

Now that he knows where he stands with Sundowns, Zwane is almost sure to feature at the 2025 Fifa Club World Cup should injury not strike again.

Interestingly, he is yet to feature in an official match under Miguel Cardoso, who was appointed Sundowns coach in December 2024.
