Luyolo Slatsha (22) has moved to AmaZulu FC from Cape Town City after being linked with Kaizer Chiefs & Siwelele FC. The 22-year-old midfielder joins Usuthu along with Brazilian-born Gustavo Lopes, arriving as a free agent. Slatsha made 23 appearances for City in the PSL Premiership.
AmaZulu have further underlined their intent to build on a promising start to the season by strengthening their squad with two midfield additions. Following the arrival of Harare-born defensive midfielder Mason Mushore from Zimbabwean side Highlanders FC on a permanent deal, Usuthu have now secured the services of highly rated youngsters Luyolo Slatsha (22) from Cape Town City and Brazilian-born Gustavo Lopes (24), who joins as a free agent. Currently sitting fifth on the Betway Premiership standings, AmaZulu have enjoyed a strong opening to the campaign despite fielding a relatively young squad with several new faces.
The latest additions are expected to add depth and quality as the club looks to maintain its position in the league’s top five. Qonce-born central midfielder Slatsha expressed his excitement after putting pen to paper, highlighting the positive environment he has encountered at the club. “It’s been a very welcoming environment so far.

It’s an open space where the relationship between the coaches and players is very good. Communication is open, direct, accountable and demanding in terms of the standards required to compete in the league,” said Slatsha. “There’s a strong balance in the squad — experienced, big-name players alongside exciting young talent. I believe this group can produce something special.
