AmaZulu FC are among the clubs linked with former Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa, who is a free agent after leaving the Soweto giants. The 29-year-old forward is one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market ahead of the 2026/27 Premier Soccer League season.
What happened to Tshegofatso Mabasa?
Mabasa, who scored 50 goals during his time with Orlando Pirates, was deemed surplus to requirements by the club. He spent the second half of the 2025/26 season on loan at Stellenbosch before his contract was not renewed. Now, he is a free agent and has attracted interest from several clubs, including AmaZulu FC, Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns, Al-Ittihad, and Pyramids FC.
Why is AmaZulu FC interested in Mabasa?
AmaZulu FC are looking to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season. Mabasa's experience and goal-scoring record make him an attractive option. The Usuthu have been linked with several strikers this transfer window, and Mabasa is one of the most experienced names on the list.
What comes next for Mabasa?
Mabasa is closing in on his next move. Soccer Laduma reported that he could sign with a new club by next week. While AmaZulu FC are among the interested parties, it remains to be seen if they will make a concrete offer. The 29-year-old is expected to make a decision soon, and fans will be eager to see where he ends up.
