SuperSport United Football Club have announced the signing of Terrence Dzvukamanja on a free transfer from Soweto giants Orlando Pirates.
Dzvukamanja had asked Pirates to be released “to play in Zimbabwe to be close to home in order to address pressing family matters”.
However, in Pirates’ version of events SuperSport then approached the player to the “surprise” of the Buccaneers, who then opted to “release Dzvukamanja to SuperSport.”
Dzvukamanja has reunited with coach Gavin hunt. The duo were at Bidvest Wits. Hunt went on to coach Kaizer Chiefs while the Zimbabwean international went the opposite direction and joined Orlando Pirates.
Matsatsantsa have been busy on the market ahead of the start of the 2023/24 DStv Premiership season.
Dzvukamanja will find a familiar face in Thulani Hlatswayo, who also reunited with Hunt after a stint at Pirates. The defender joined United at the start of last season.
“I know him very well as I have signed him before. He is a versatile top player and can play in multiple positions, which is what we need,” head coach Gavin Hunt told the club’s media.
“We are happy to have him. He is a good goal scorer.”
Dzvukamanja joined Pirates in 2020 and made 76 appearances for the Buccaneers, scoring 16 goals.
Eight of those goals came last season when he made the No 9 spot his own in the second half of the campaign and also scored the winner in the Nedbank Cup final.
