- Zungu has been clubless since last season's end but could soon reunite with former Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena at Wydad.

Hey there, football fans! It looks like Rulani Mokwena might be gearing up for a major reunion with Bongani Zungu at Wydad Athletic. If everything goes according to plan, the Moroccan club could soon welcome one of South Africa's most celebrated midfielders. Zungu has been training with Wydad, and all signs point to a potential signing.
For those who don’t know, the 32-year-old Zungu played under Mokwena during his time at Mamelodi Sundowns before his contract expired last season. Now, it seems the duo could be teaming up again in Morocco, where Mokwena is trying to make his mark as Wydad's coach.

Since leaving Sundowns, Zungu has been without a club, but he's attracted interest from several PSL teams. However, it seems Wydad Athletic might just be the perfect fit for him. Training sessions with the Moroccan side have already begun, and things are looking promising for both parties involved.

Zungu's Potential Reunion with Rulani Mokwena
According to recent tweets, Zungu is on the brink of joining Wydad Athletic. Here's what people are saying:
Since taking over at Wydad, Mokwena hasn’t exactly had the smoothest start. Out of their first five matches, the team has only managed two victories. Fans and analysts alike believe that bringing in a player of Zungu's caliber could be exactly what Mokwena needs to turn things around.
Mokwena, a three-time PSL-winning coach, has asked fans to give him time as he adjusts to life in Morocco. Currently sitting sixth in the Moroccan league, Wydad needs a spark, and Zungu could be the player to ignite it.
Fans Are Thrilled About Zungu's Possible Move
South African football enthusiasts have taken to social media to voice their support for Zungu's potential move to Wydad. Many believe the midfielder could be a game-changer for the Moroccan side. Let’s hear what some of them had to say:
Mhlengi Josta Madlala expressed his excitement:
"He is too good to play for a small club; he deserves to play for a club of Wydad's stature. I'm genuinely happy for him."

Katlego Mkwena praised Zungu:
"The best defensive midfielder in South Africa. His experience and skill set are unmatched."

"He’s exactly what Wydad needs in midfield. Comfortable on the ball, he can deliver precise passes to strikers and wingers. His vision is unmatched."
Sthe Bhengu raised a valid concern:
"But Rulani is already feeling the pressure. What will happen to Zungu if Mokwena gets fired? That’s something to think about."
UMazbuko Odumile emphasized Wydad's need for Zungu:
"They desperately need him. Watching Rulani’s last game, it was clear they lack a composed player in midfield. They struggle to create attacking opportunities, and a team like Sundowns could easily dominate them."
Siphiwe Mammosha made a bold prediction:
"If Zungu signs, Lorch will follow soon. This could be the start of something big for Wydad."
John Acuna chimed in with praise:
"Very good player; he has that pass and vision. His presence alone can elevate any team."
