He is said to be joining Usuthu on a one-season loan deal after he extended his Sundowns contract for another year in May.
Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Siphiwe Tshabalala is believed to have convinced Ngcongca to join AmaZulu.
Usuthu has signed more than 10 players during the current transfer window, including former Orlando Pirates stars Luvuyo Memela, Augustine Mulenga and Thembela Sikhakhane, as well as Tshabalala, who is leading the newcomers.
The signatures of striker Siphelele Mthembu, Malawi defender Limbikani Mzava of Highkands Park, Siphelele Nene, Makhehleni Makhaula, Sicelo Mkhize and defender Samkelo Mgwazela have also been secured.
Now, Ngcongca is said to be close to joining the gamer gang in AmaZulu, as Sundowns is rumored to be eliminating several senior players.
Veteran defender Wayne Arendse, Tiyani Mabunda and forward Anthony Laffor are reportedly leaving Chloorkop and could be loaned to other PSL clubs.
After appearing prominently for Downs in the Premier Soccer League bio-bubble, Ngcongca was expected to be one of the club’s key players this season.
Rave praise from former Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane two months ago seemed to have cemented his status at the club amid proposals from KSV Roeselare.
“I think you know my heart and my feelings for Anele. He is one of the most underrated right backs in the country, “Mosimane told the media at the time.
“It would be sad to lose him, to be honest, but I don’t know what is happening between the club and its agent because we are in the bubble.”
His reported move to AmaZulu comes when he had yet to play a single game for Sundowns this season.
