Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder, Tiyani Mabunda, believes it will be tough for anyone to replace Bongani Zungu, who is off to Portugal next season.
The 23-year-old will join Portuguese top flight side, Vitoria de Guimaraes next season, leaving Sundowns with the task of searching for his replacement.
One player expected to replace him in the team is Mabunda, who has featured prominently for the Brazilians in recent weeks.
"You know how important Bongani was to the team. It will will be tough to fill his place but as a team we will take over from where he has left off," Mabunda said to the media.
"We are grateful for every contribution he has made to the team and we wish him all the best in his new life in Portugal."
