The Siya crew reported the breaking story last night that Phakamani Mahlambi was expected to join Usuthu on loan from the Brazilians – just less than two hours before the midnight transfer window deadline in the Premier Soccer League.
It had been the subject of speculation for a few weeks that the attacker, who was deemed surplus to requirements at Sundowns, would be allowed to leave at the start of the campaign and Swallows were initially favourites to land his signature.

But it has now been confirmed by AmaZulu, under their new ambitious owner, Sandile Zungu, that the former Bidvest Wits and Al Ahly forward will join their new-look squad, assembled as soon as the businessman took over.
Joining 'Phaka' at the KZN outfit is goalkeeper Veli Mothwa, who left Chippa United abruptly on Saturday to sign a new deal with Usuthu.
The now former Chilli Boys captain will offer stiff competition to Siyabonga Mbatha, who has been criticised lately for making elementary and costly mistakes, despite his experience and leadership qualities as the club's skipper.
