Zuma returns to the PSL
There are a number of big moves on the cards in the PSL, but why would Sibusiso Zuma move from Arminia Bielefeld to Sundowns. It could be that Zuma the Puma's form has dropped dramatically with age and that he can no longer keep up with the pace of European soccer, or perhaps the salary being offered is good enough combined with the chance to return to his beloved South Africa.
Many players dream about finishing their careers on home soil and there's no better club to do so than at Sundowns. I just wonder whether his pay packet will further widen the gap between the highest and lowest paid players in the league. Bear in mind the Players Association is still fighting for a minimum salary of R15 000 for PSL players.
Anyway, well done to Downs for bringing back South Africa's most celebrated export, since Lucas Radebe.
Pirates are also beefing up after a disappointing season. The Buccaneers have already secured the services of goalkeeper, Moneeb! Josephs and could soon add Downs defender, Benson Mhlongo to their squad.
