The Sebokeng-born star has made 21 appearances across all competitions for FCSB and has established himself as a key figure in a side that won last season's league title and came just short of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League proper, falling into the Europa League, where they are progressing well.
Ngezana is also considered a vital part of Hugo Broos' side that will head to the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco next year.
He played the full 90 minutes in a 3-0 win over South Sudan in November, and will be in action for his side on Wednesday evening in Cupa Romaniei action against Universitatea Craiova.
