Mamelodi Sundowns can find themselves in good and commanding positions on and off the pitch. It's not known easy to be on top of the game for almost a decade. Hence, the technical team will need the players' buy-in at all times. When they have senior players in their squad then they will look into getting them involved in leadership roles. Not everything is about being known, some players enjoy doing their work in silence and let their work do the talking. This is what the Sundowns fringe star Bongani Zungu is doing at Chloorkop, as he is regarded as a player-coach.

Although it's something that comes within the player to bring value into the value, some of them don't do it for extra income. It's a matter of cementing their stay in such a prestigious establishment and they know that there's longevity at Sundowns. After fans questioned the re-signing of Zungu to Downs, now Rulani Mokwena has set the record straight. As he stated the talented midfielder is more than just a player as he's regarded as a leader. Which is an exceptional attribute that will make him stand out from the rest of the squad. "He organises the team and [does] a lot of coaching on the pitch, and these are some of the things you don’t see. He is selfless; he’s a good human being. Bongz looks after the younger ones and the team," said Mokwena speaking to the media.

'Ben 10' as he's affectionately known in the football fraternity, has made 39 appearances in Tshwane Giants. He's been mostly used as a super substitute and comes in just after the half-hour mark. Then had to control the competitive Sundowns midfield and lead them to work together. Surely, he would love to play more often, but at the same time, he can use his experience to benefit the young players.
