AmaZulu have commented about the future of leading striker Bonginkosi Ntuli, who has been one of the sought-after players this season, with his high work-rate and form believed to have earned him interested suitors in Gauteng.
Ntuli finished the season as AmaZulu top goal-scorer with 13 goals – three goals behind Orlando Pirates' Gabadinho Mhango and Peter Shalulile of Highlands Park – the two players who ended the 2019/20 Absa Premiership campaign as joint leading goal-scorers in the league.

"We haven't had any official offers for Mr Bongi Ntuli. We've had a lot of rumours, a lot of talk but nothing official. He's a critical player, obviously, in our squad in terms of his position and what he brings to that position. We're not looking to release him," said Sokhela, speaking to the media.
