Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Nkanyiso Zungu is looking for a fresh start and a new club in football. He is currently training with Royal AM in Durban and hoping to impress Coach John Maduka and his technical team. However, he has not received any offers yet.

Zungu’s Journey and Challenges

Zungu first caught the attention of the Pirates during his time at Stellenbosch, where his accurate passing and unwavering work ethic stood out. Unfortunately, he fell out of favor under coach Josef Zinnbauer and was sent to play for the Natal Rich Boys. There, Zungu’s off-the-field issues came to light, and he was released by the club.

Seeking a Fresh Start

Zungu is now training with Royal AM in the hopes of rebuilding his career. His agent, Mike Makaab of ProSport International, confirmed the move. While it is too soon to discuss potential interest from the club, Makaab says they are open to offers. However, no concrete offers have been presented yet.

Acknowledging Past Mistakes

Zungu took to his official Facebook account to acknowledge his past mistakes and express remorse for his behavior. He is determined to bounce back and not give up on the love of the game, despite his setbacks.

Release from Orlando Pirates

Zungu was released from the Pirates as part of a larger effort to let go of several players before the start of their pre-season campaign. He was the first player to exit, even before the previous season concluded. Disciplinary issues are believed to have played a significant role in the decision to release him.

Future in Football

Zungu’s story serves as a reminder that setbacks and mistakes can lead to growth and learning. His love for the game and determination to improve may lead to a new opportunity and a fresh start in football. The question of his future remains open, and only time and dedication will answer it.
