Sandile Mthethwa says AmaZulu spell is the best of his career

Sandile Mthethwa believes his time at AmaZulu has been the best stint of his career, with regular football and a prominent role under coach Arthur Zwane.

The 29-year-old centre-back joined AmaZulu from Orlando Pirates in 2024, seeking more opportunities to play. Since then, he has established himself as an important figure in the team’s defence and one of its leaders.

Mthethwa says the responsibility he has been given, along with his consistent involvement, has made his current spell especially rewarding.

“Yes, this is my best stint, but I’ll never take away the love and the support from clubs I came from, they played a big role,” said Mthethwa.

“But being part of AmaZulu, playing each and every game and being there to challenge is one of my best moments in my career of which I’m proud of.”

The defender says his time at AmaZulu would be even more meaningful if he could help the club win a trophy.

He has previously lifted silverware with other clubs, but believes success with AmaZulu would carry particular significance and create a lasting legacy.

“I don’t want it to end here, I want it to end with something, perhaps the trophy for the club,” he added.

“Yes, I’ve won trophies with my previous clubs but to win it with AmaZulu, it would mean a lot. It would stay in history for years.

“That’s what we want as players, legacy for ourselves and the clubs we’re playing for.”
