Royal AM and Khabo Zondo part ways?

Royal AM super-fan Mama Joy Chauke has hinted that the club have parted company with head coach Khabo Zondo.

Mama Joy has in the past also spilled the beans on the departure of Dan Malesela.

The former Chippa United coach has since rejoined Marumo Gallants after a brief spell at the Durban-based side, where he was serving as co-coach alongside Zondo.

Zondo, who joined Thwihli Thwahla in the off-season, is believed to have been shown the exit door barely three months into the job at the club.

Although, there hasn’t been any official word from Royal AM, indications are that the club is contemplating on sacking the former Golden Arrows mentor.

In a tweet where both Zondo and Malesela are pictured, Mama Joy dropped a bombsell about the coaching situation at AM.
