AmaZulu FC have officially strengthened their squad with seven new signings ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. The Durban-based outfit is preparing for a demanding season after a successful previous term.
According to soccerladuma.co.za, the club has finalized deals across multiple positions to add necessary depth to the first-team roster.
Building on Recent Success
Under the guidance of coach Arthur Zwane, the team secured an impressive fourth-placed finish in the Betway Premiership last season. This performance earned them a spot in the upcoming MTN8 tournament.
Competing in both the league and cup competitions requires a robust squad. Management has responded by targeting key reinforcements to maintain their competitive edge.
Domestic and Continental Arrivals
The club heavily targeted proven talent within the domestic leagues. Key defensive and midfield acquisitions include Omega Mdaka and Kgomotjo Lekoloane, both arriving from Stellenbosch FC. Additionally, midfielder Mncedi Vandala makes the switch to KwaZulu-Natal after an impressive stint with Magesi FC.
The full list of new arrivals includes:
- Moses Shumah
- Kgomotjo Lekoloane
- Gape Moralo
- Mncedi Vandala
- Omega Mdaka
- Keenan Phillips
- Faveur Kouassi
In attack, Kenyan striker Moses Shumah arrives with high expectations. He scored 21 goals for Zambian side Power Dynamos in the MTN Super League last season and will look to replicate that form in South Africa.
