Midfielder Langelihle Mhlongo says joining AmaZulu was his childhood dream, narrating how his father ploughed Usuthu affection in him when he was growing up.
Mhlongo, 24, joined Usuthu earlier this week, having been in the wilderness for a few months after Richards Bay surprisingly released him at the end of last season. The lad from KwaMashu is poised to make his Usuthu debut when they face Siwelele at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday at 3.30pm.
I grew up wanting to play for AmaZulu because of my father, who told me that the club used to have good players from my township, Kwa-Mashu... The likes of the late Joel Fire Faya, Mhlongo said. Faya, who passed away last year, played for Usuthu between 1978 and 1992 and went on to work for the club in different roles in their technical teams over the years.
