The surprise switch will see Mobara reunite with coach Benni McCarthy after the pair spent the first half of the 2019/20 campaign together at City.
The 27-year-old can play at right-back, centre-back or as a defensive midfielder, and adds strength in a number of areas for AmaZulu as they prepare for the CAF Champions League group stages.
“City bids farewell to Abbubaker Mobara, who joins AmaZulu FC. We wish ‘Bara’ all the best in the next phase of his career,” City said on Thursday.
Mobara made 53 appearances in his two-and-a-half seasons at the club. His final game was against Swallows last month when he received a red card in a 2-1 win. He must still serve the second game of that suspension.
