Captain Themba Zwane signs new deal with Mamelodi Sundowns

Captain Themba Zwane signs new deal with Mamelodi Sundowns

The news was quietly delivered via a brief social media post by the club, but it sparked loud celebrations among the Masandawana faithful.

"Captain Themba Zwane has penned a contract extension, keeping him at the club beyond the 2024/25 season," said the club.

Zwane, long regarded as one of the finest players to don the club's iconic Brazilian colours, is a figure of immense stature within South African football.

The 34-year-old midfielder's new deal comes after months of uncertainty surrounding his future. Many supporters feared the worst after a serious injury halted his momentum last year.

Zwane suffered a career-threatening ACL injury during a 1-1 draw between Bafana Bafana and Congo in Brazzaville, in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The setback sidelined him for the remainder of the campaign, and he is yet to feature for Sundowns this season.

Nonetheless, his return to full fitness has boosted spirits at Chloorkop, and the club's decision to extend his stay underscores his continued importance both on and off the pitch.
