Bongani Zungu, 29, set for India move from Chippa United

South African left-back Bongani Zungu, 29, is set to leave Chippa United for India, with a leg injury listed in his player record.

Bongani Zungu is set to move to India from Chippa United, with the 29-year-old South African valued at €100,000. The proposed switch would take the left-back away from the Gqeberha-based club after his current spell in the colours of Chippa United.

The player record identifies him as Bongani Sam, while the move concerns Bongani Zungu. His listed position is left-back, and South Africa is recorded as his nationality. A leg injury is also included in his profile.

Zungu joined Chippa United during the 2025/26 season after a spell without a club. That period followed his departure from Kaizer Chiefs in the same campaign, marking a short gap between his previous club and his current team.

Before joining Kaizer Chiefs, he moved from Orlando Pirates during the 2024/25 season. His time at Pirates came after a transfer from Moroka Swallows in 2023/24, giving him a recent path through several South African clubs.

The India move would therefore represent another change in club and a new stage in the career of a player who has remained within South African football in his recorded transfers. No Indian club is named in the available details, and the proposed destination is presented as India rather than a confirmed club announcement.
