Sundowns loanee says he is not worried by not afforded opportunity

The new AmaZulu creative midfielder Luvuyo Phewa, who has joined the club on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns as they taken the decision to loan him out on loan again ahead of new season.

Phewa has never played for Sundowns since joining them from Real Kings in September 2020. The 24-year former SA youth international has spent the last three years on loan at Chippa United, University of Pretoria and Cape Town Spurs.

Phewa said “I just have to accept what’s happening without complaining. I have come here to play, that’s all. I am hoping to perform and return to my best form this season.”

Phewa, who grew up at Durban, appreciate the opportunity to play in his hometown again and he emphasises that will not make him relax. Phewa is confident he’ll be fitness before the league starts next month as he is still recovering from a groin injury.

“It’s good to be back at home but that doesn’t mean I will relax because I am now back in Durban. I have been in the game for quite a few years and I still want to grow. Being back doesn’t put me under any pressure at all. I will try my best to be disciplined and go about my business of playing football for the clubs.

“I still have to be fit because at Spurs I got injured and I am doing my rehab right now, so I won’t rush myself to play but I think I will be fit when the league starts.”

On the other-side AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu confirmed Amandla Mobile’s as their sponsorship that provide more financially reward than that of Spar, even though he insisted they opted to keep the figures confidential.

“I can assure you that it’s significantly better than what we were getting from Spar and when they said they wanted to keep it confidential it’s because we also want to see how long they will stay.
