AmaZulu chairman Sandile Zungu has responded to reports linking defender Riaan Hanamub with a move to Orlando Pirates.
The 28-year-old defender has been one of the stand-out performers in the DStv premiership this season. Hanamub made 32 appearances for Usuthu across all competitions, missing just two matches and contributed three assists.

Reports have surfaced linking the Namibian to a move to Gauteng, but Zungu has doubled-down on his stance the club would not be selling.
"Riaan Hanamub is arguably the best left-back in the Dstv premiership, there's no question about it. He's he best left-back in the local football scene," Zungu said.
"He's a Namibian international and very exemplary in behavior and a true fighter. You just can't fault him. He's got some growth to realise as wells so he need to grow, to become a better Riaan Hanamub than what we see now. He's not going anywhere.
"No one has spoken to me about Riaan Hanamub."
"He is our first-choice, you can see from the passes that Riaan Hanamub played most of the games in that season so he's but going anywhere
"But when a player says, 'I've got a future and I'm thinking very seriously about it,' and there has been a proper approach [from a buying club] we are amiable to not standing in the way of our players."
Zungu also announced that club would be parting ways with 11 players ahead of the new season.
