However, after six years in Europe he opted to return to South Africa during the off-season after his contract with Ligue 2 side Amiens had come to and end.

Ben10, as he is famously known, played the full match in the semi-final against AmaZulu and was part of the Carling Black Label Cup score-predictor launch this week.
At the event, he discussed the criticism of Mokwena in early October, after the coach had claimed he wasn’t completely happy with his progress.
“Actually, he played a massive role to bring me to Sundowns because I had other options,” Zungu told journalists.
“Coach Rulani, I always tell him that ‘you’re always not happy’. He always wants more and more.

“Obviously he told me first before he told the media that he is not happy. I knew and I know he demands more and more from me.
“For me, as I’ve mentioned, is to work hard. When I do get the opportunity to just play and do well.”
