Collins Mbesuma today signed for SA club Mamelodi Sundown’s for an unspecified period.
SportSoccer confirmed the deal between the 8-time South African league champions and the Zambian striker.
However, full details of the contract have not been disclosed.
Mbesuma has been training with Sundowns for the last 3 weeks hoping to impress the high-spending side from Pretoria.
The Zambian striker has been club-less since May after Bursaspor of Turkey terminated his contract just a season into a 3-year-deal.
Mbesuma will be making his first return to the South African league after 3 years where he made his name with Sundowns rivals Kaizer Chiefs in 2005 with whom he scored 35 goals in one season after joining from Roan United in 2004.
He went on to play for Portsmouth in England before being loaned to Maritimo of Portugal and later sold to Bursaspor last season.
-Faz disciplinary committee chairman chairman Sunday Nkonde has warned Mufulira Wanderers and Kitwe United officials from discussing their abandoned 1-1 Faz division 1 week 16 match played on August 3 at Shinde Stadium in the press.
Nkonde cautioned in a statement today that both United and Wanderers should show restraint over their pending disciplinary hearing.
“It is therefore advisable that interested parties show restraint and leadership in the manner they make comments on the intended disciplinary hearing,” Nkonde said.
“Unguarded comments by interested parties especially club officials are not only undesirable but may even result in disciplinary offences.”
A pitch invasion ensued followed when United equalized in the 87th minute away at Shinde last Sunday after Wanderers had earlier taken the lead in the second half through a 52nd spot-kick of their own leading to post-match violence.
United’s team bus and the visiting team officials cars were damaged during the post-match riots.
A date has yet to be set when the two clubs will appear before Faz’s disciplinary committee.
However, both Wanderers and United have submitted their respective reports on the riot.
