Upon parting ways with Sundowns, Zungu travelled to Turkey for holidays with his celebrity girlfriend Cindy Thando opening up speculations about him possibly joining Sundowns’ arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs who were in Instabul, Turkey for pre-season.
However, Amakhosi’s Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr., denied the rumours leaving uncertainty in where the former Glasgow Rangers middlefielder will play next season.
The uncertainty in his career continued after new WAC head coach Rulani Mokwena hinted at a possible reunion in Casablanca during a radio interview with a South African radio station.
However, the speculations and rumours surrounding the future of the 31-year-old seem to be heading to an end, as according to Unplayable, Zungu is set to join the Red Castle.
“#UNPLAYABLE can confirm Bongani Zungu is close to joining Wydad Casablanca,” Unplayable stated on X.
“”His medical was done… he’s going to be one of many signings by the club,” says our source.”
He is expected to be among the six players Mokwena, and the Casablanca-based club will announce today as new signings for the 2024-2025 season.
