Zothwane's return to Uthongathi comes just days after he surprisingly parted ways with the Motsepe Foundation Championship's table-topping side Polokwane City where he had been at the helm since the start of the season.
City currently hold a three point lead over Hungry Lions at the summit and have a game in hand, while they are eight points ahead of Uthongathi in the league standings.
Zothwane first joined the Kwa-Zulu Natal-based outfit in September 2020 when he was appointed as assistant manager to Pitso Dladla before taking custody of the reins at the start of the 2021/22 campaign, which he held until the end of the season before his move to Polokwane.
