AmaZulu FC maintained their unbeaten start to the 2026/27 Betway Premiership season with a convincing 2-0 victory over Siwelele FC at Kings Park Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The result moves Usuthu up to second place on the league table, level on points with leaders Kaizer Chiefs. AmaZulu will now look to make it back-to-back wins when they travel to face Mamelodi Sundowns on 26 August.
Siwelele, meanwhile, remain at the bottom of the standings with just one point from three matches and will be desperate to secure their first victory when they host Chippa United on 25 August.
Despite enjoying less possession, AmaZulu proved far more clinical in front of goal.
Mlondi Mbanjwa opened the scoring in the 20th minute, converting from Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya’s assist to register his first goal of the season.
Ngwenya then turned provider into scorer 12 minutes later. Nkosikhona Radebe set up the Zimbabwean striker, who calmly finished to make it 2-0 and claim his fifth goal in four matches this season.
Siwelele coach Lehlohonolo Seema responded by introducing Blessing Thulo and Neo Mokhachane in an attempt to revive his side’s attack after the break.
AmaZulu coach Arthur Zwane also made changes as Usuthu looked to protect their advantage.
Siwelele created several opportunities in the second half, but AmaZulu goalkeeper Wilfried Kouassi produced an outstanding performance, making five saves to keep the visitors at bay.
AmaZulu comfortably saw out the remainder of the match to claim another three points and strengthen their position near the top of the Betway Premiership table.
