Mulenga, Shonga link up at Tshakhuma FC
CHIPOLOPOLO strikers Augustine Mulenga and Justin Shonga have joined South African Premier Soccer league club Tshakhuma FC after leaving Orlando Pirates.
Orlando Pirates have confirmed the exits of Justin Shonga and goal keeper Joris Delle, bringing the departure count to 10 with the French goalkeeper and the Zambia international striker leaving ahead of the new season.
Pirates confirmed Shonga’s move to TTM, while Mulenga was released with several others last week.
“After spending a year in South Africa, Delle has submitted a request in writing citing his inability to adjust to his new surroundings and wants to return to Europe,” the statement read on the club’s website.
“The club can also confirm that striker Justin Shonga has also left the club and will be joining TTM. We would like to wish both Justin and Joris the best of luck in their future endeavours.”
Delle’s contract has been terminated with immediate effect while it is believed Shonga’s move to TTM is a loan deal for the 2020/21 season.
Meanwhile, Tshakhuma FC will start their new campaign in the
PSL without the services of Oupa Manyisa as Augustine Mulenga joins Justin Shonga in the TTM squad.
According to the official TTM squad, Manyisa is missing from the list of players assembled by the Limpopo-based side for the 2020/21 season.
Players reported to have signed for TTM including Gustavo Paez and Miguel Timm, with the big news being that Mulenga has also joined the club with Shonga.
