Sundowns move to secure Khoza’s future

Sundowns view Khoza as a long-term prospect alongside Khulumani Ndamane.

Sundowns move to secure Khoza’s future

Mamelodi Sundowns are striving to secure long-term contract commitments from talented young player Malibongwe Khoza to deter interest from foreign clubs. The 22-year-old center-back has been a standout performer for Sundowns this season, replacing Grant Kekana and Keanu Cupido in the starting lineup due to injuries. Khoza's consistent defensive play has drawn attention from clubs in Belgium, France, and Austria, prompting speculation about potential interest from overseas teams.

Although the length of Khoza's current contract with Sundowns remains undisclosed, the club is actively engaging in negotiations to prolong his tenure. Khoza is considered a long-term prospect for Sundowns, alongside fellow defender Khulumani Ndamane, while key players Kekana and Mothobi Mvala have already established themselves well into their thirties.

Despite recent injuries, Sundowns are focused on upcoming cup matches, including a Carling Knockout game against Golden Arrows on Tuesday and the CAF Super Cup match against USM Alger on Sunday, where Khoza is expected to play a pivotal role in both fixtures.
