Magesi FC has made a strategic move ahead of the 2025/26 Premier Soccer League season by signing seasoned midfielder Nkanyiso Zungu. According to head coach John Maduka, the recruitment of Zungu is driven by the need to bring experience and stability to the midfield, pivotal for competing at the highest level of South African football. Maduka highlighted Zungu’s proven ability to control the pace of the game and provide leadership on the pitch, qualities that are essential for Magesi’s ambitions in the top-flight league.
Maduka further explained that Zungu’s track record in the league and his versatility make him a key asset in strengthening the team’s core. The coach emphasized that Zungu possesses tactical awareness and a winning mentality that will benefit younger players while improving the team’s overall balance between defense and attack. The addition is seen as a key step in Magesi’s efforts to remain competitive and push for higher league standings in their second Premier Soccer League season.
Nkanyiso Zungu’s role will be crucial in linking defense and offense, allowing Magesi FC to transition smoothly during matches. Maduka expressed confidence that Zungu will help orchestrate play from the midfield, delivering both defensive coverage and creative passes to forwards. This recruitment aligns with the club’s vision to build a cohesive squad blending youth and experience, as Magesi targets consistent performances against established PSL teams.
Magesi FC, founded in 2011 and promoted to the Premier Soccer League recently, continues to build its squad thoughtfully. The acquisition of Zungu signals the club’s intent to establish itself firmly in the top division. With fixtures lined up against top PSL clubs, the experienced midfielder’s influence will be put to the test as Magesi looks to secure valuable points and improve its standing in one of Africa’s most competitive football leagues.
