Former Mamelodi Sundowns star Sello "Page" Mahlangu advise Bongani Zungu not to swap the DStv Premiership champions for a local club.
Mahlangu says the decision would not make any sense for the 31-year-old player as it would mean a pay cut.
Zungu made only 13 appearances in the league for The Brazilians in the 2023/24 season.

Last Friday, the Duduza-born star confirmed his departure from the Tshwane giants, and now top Premier Soccer League clubs like Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are being linked with his signature.
"At this stage, it's not clear if he is the one who decided to leave, or it's the club who asked him to. So far, we haven't heard anything from the club," Mahlangu says, speaking to this website.
"What the player put out on his Instagram doesn't give us the whole picture, but maybe there is a better offer outside the country, which is good for him.
"I don't think he can leave Sundowns for a local team. It won't make business sense to anyone involved.
"His next move after Sundowns should be going back to Europe. Him moving to Europe will also benefit Bafana Bafana.
"I don't think he will move to the likes of Chiefs in terms of financial implications. At his age, he is not going to accept anything less than what he is currently paid.

"Nowadays, money is more important than game-time. Money has power, and it brings a will to win. Looking at the former Sundowns players who went to Chiefs, they achieved nothing.
"I hope this is just a rumour because we still need him more at Sundowns."
