Usuthu recently confirmed that Sifiso Ngobeni joined the club on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns until the end of the season, something Zungu believes was made possible by the good relationship they are enjoying with the PSL champions.
Zungu says as a club, AmaZulu have always been looking to have a good relationship with all the Premier Soccer League clubs.
"As men, nothing beats sitting down and talking, as long as you have a good relationship," Zungu tells KickOff
"You will notice that AmaZulu has a good relationship with both Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates. We've had many players going from Pirates to AmaZulu. It's something we appreciate.
"And Sundowns as well, they've been very kind to us. We are building the very same relationship by the way with Kaizer Chiefs. The sad saga around Siyethemba Sithebe is a thing of the past now," the chairman added.

"We are always looking at their movement, there's players Chiefs want from AmaZulu, so do Pirates, there are players they want from AmaZulu.
"We approach discussions maturely there's nothing wrong with clubs wanting each other's players. That's how it should be done, and previously, we've signed good players from Chippa United as well. If you look at Riaan Hanamub, Veli Mothwa, and Veluyeke Zulu, they all joined us from Chippa United, and these are good players.
