Sundowns tell Zungu to shed some kilos: Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rulani Mokwena has revealed that he’s not happy with the progress of midfielder Bongani Zungu though he remains optimistic he will be back to his best soon.
Zungu, who turned 30 on Sunday, made his third appearance for Masandawana in the 7-0 win over La Passe from the Seychelles in the CAF Champions League second-round first leg at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
“As incredible a human being as Zungu [is], are we happy with his progress? He knows I’m not happy and I can speak in a personal capacity. He knows that he can do more,” Mokwena told the media after the match. “And the subject of weight loss is the subject of conditioning. So it is very difficult to put a time frame in relation to that to lose the number of kilos that he has lost.
“He is a top professional that’s what got him to Europe. It is not a worry or concern because I think very soon he will be in a good condition.”
