Zwane Signs New Sundowns Contract
Mamelodi Sundowns have confirmed that talismanic club legend Themba Zwane has signed a new one-year deal to extend his historic stay at Chloorkop.
Zwane’s previous contract was set to expire at the end of June. The extension comes just days after the veteran playmaker captained the Brazilians to their historic second CAF Champions League title last weekend.
“Themba Zwane’s story with the Yellow Nation continues!” Sundowns proudly announced in an official club statement.
What is Themba Zwane’s Record-Breaking Trophy Haul?
The 36-year-old maestro made his professional debut way back in 2011 against Black Leopards, coming off the bench to replace the legendary Teko Modise. Since that afternoon, “Mshishi” has forged one of the most decorated careers in African football history.
With last weekend’s continental triumph, Zwane became the first South African player to win two CAF Champions League titles with a South African club.
