AmaZulu FC forward Thandolwethu Ngwenya has established himself as a central figure in the current league season, marking a historic start with goals in each of his first seven appearances. According to SSBCrack, the Zimbabwean international has accumulated eight goals and one assist, a performance that currently positions him as a top contender for the league’s Golden Boot award.
Ngwenya’s most recent contribution came in a 1-0 victory over Polokwane City at the Peter Mokaba Stadium. This result has been pivotal for the Durban-based club, which currently sits in third place in the league standings with 16 points from seven fixtures. The team is currently riding a three-match winning streak, a momentum they look to carry into the upcoming KwaZulu-Natal derby against Durban City FC on 13 October 2026.
AmaZulu head coach Arthur Zwane has publicly backed Ngwenya’s potential to finish as the league’s top scorer. “He’s got the qualities for that,” Zwane noted, while also emphasizing the necessity for collective team contribution to alleviate pressure on the striker. As the league pauses for the international break, Zwane expressed optimism regarding Ngwenya’s form upon the competition’s resumption.
The race for the individual scoring title remains competitive. Ngwenya currently leads the charts, but faces pressure from Richards Bay FC’s Nqaba Xulu, who has recorded five goals in the same number of appearances.
