The bulky striker has been training with Tshwane University of Technology for the past few months to keep himself fit.
‘Shaka Zulu’, as he is affectionately known in football circles, has now found a permanent home with TUT in the ABC Motsepe League.
He marked his debut with TUT in style when he scored a brace to help the team beat Jomo Cosmos 2-0 in Tshwane on Tuesday.
According to an official at TUT, Mthembu has signed a short-term contract with the club whilst waiting for an opportunity in the PSL in January.
“He is helping us whilst still waiting for offers in the PSL. His presence has been influential in the team.
“The youngsters are learning a lot from him, and we are benefiting a lot from his experience,” said the club official.
