Mamelodi Sundowns secured the signature of 22‑year‑old Siyanda Ndlovu from Golden Arrows, beating Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs. The move was confirmed after the player passed medicals with the Soweto giants.
Quick Deal
Ndlovu completed his medical with Mamelodi Sundowns before the club announced the signing. The transfer was described by agent Mike Makaab as occurring “in the blink of an eye,” with Sundowns acting swiftly to outbid rivals.
Agent Insight
Makaab highlighted Ndlovu’s coachability and humility as key reasons for the club’s interest. He said, “If you meet him, he’s a wonderful, humble young man – true to who he is.” The agent also urged patience, noting that the player “doesn’t know how good he is, or the potential he has.”
Performance Highlights
During the 2025/26 season with Golden Arrows, Ndlovu scored four goals and provided eight assists across all competitions. These statistics attracted attention from several South African clubs and European teams.
Future Outlook
While optimistic about Ndlovu’s prospects, Makaab cautioned that the player will need time to settle at one of Africa’s biggest clubs. He added that Ndlovu “plays with an air of confidence” and is not intimidated by big occasions.
The transfer marks a significant coup for Sundowns, who secured a versatile creative attacker ahead of their main domestic rivals.
