Amazulu, which is now under new ownership, is planning on mounting a serious challenge for the top spots this season.
“I am happy to be here in Durban. I would like to thank the chairman, Sandile Zungu whom I met with and he told me plans of his vision for Amazulu and that’s why I am here,” said Tshabalala.
Despite the fact that the club was relegated from the Premier Soccer League five seasons ago and only gained promotion through buying their spot from Mpumalanga Black Aces, Amazulu have set themselves a challenge of a top 4 finish this season.
The other players are:
Makhehleni Makhawula
Sphelele Mthembu
Scale Mkhizo
Sphelele Nene
Thembela Sikhakhane
Limbikani Mzava
Samkelo Mgwazela
Augustine Mulenga
Luvuyp Memela
Amazulu kick off their season this Saturday night against Orlando Pirates at the Kings Park Stadium.
