The DStv Premiership match between AmaZulu FC and Polokwane City took place at Moses Mabhida Stadium on April 2, 2024, in Durban, South Africa. According to sources close to both clubs, a potential deal between the parties appears to be nearing completion. A source stated, “The deal is imminent.
It’s on the cards and it could happen any time. All the parties involved have agreed on the deal and it’s as good as done.” There have been reports of interest from Pirates in Riaan Hanamub from AmaZulu FC.
Sources claim that Pirates have been pursuing Hanamub for some time and are pleased with his progress at AmaZulu. They are looking to bring him on board at the beginning of the next season. The source expressed uncertainty about any potential obstacles to the move, stating, “For now, I don’t know what will stop the move.”
The source noted that Hanamub has been offered a three-year contract, with additional negotiation on other matters to take place once he joins the team during the off-season. The contract offer takes into account Hanamub’s current age of 29 and extends through 2027, when he will be 32 years old, indicating the possibility of a renewal at that time. The source confirmed, “But that’s the offer to the player and the other issues are between club and club, but the deal is as good as done at the moment.”
Hanamub, a Namibian player, has played in 22 DStv Premiership league games for AmaZulu this season, scoring a goal and providing two assists. Soccer Laduma attempted to contact Pirates for a comment, but the club had not responded prior to the publication of the story.
