Rulani vouches for Zungu's return after weight loss

Zungu saw little game time since his return to Sundowns last season from French club Amiens SC due to fitness issues and injuries.

Mokwena even went public last season and said he told the 30-year-old to lose some weight and he is pleased with what he is seeing recently. This season, Zungu is yet to start a match as he came on as a substitute in three games Sundowns have played so far. "He is getting there. He is understanding. Again, Bongs has struggled, don't just look here now. He had a stint at Amiens, then he was sent on loan to Rangers and had a few off-field issues," Mokwena told the media after Sundowns' 1-0 victory over Moroka Swallows in the MTN8 quarter-final at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday.

Themba Zwane scored the only goal in the 48th minute, finishing after getting a defense-splitting pass from Brazilian striker Lucas Ribeiro Costa.
