The 23-year-old was coming into this game on the back of a long-term injury and netted the decisive goal from the penalty spot in the 59th minute at Parow Park on Saturday.
Ngwenya finished the 2025/26 campaign as AmaZulu's top scorer, hitting eight goals in 19 appearances across all competitions, despite picking up a foot injury in March that ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
"It brought confidence because coming from injury it's not easy," Ngwenya said on IOL.
"Your confidence goes down. Now I'm just hoping for the best."
Reflecting on the injury that kept him sidelined, the former FC Platinum striker explained: "It was draining for my fitness to come back, but now I'm okay.
"I'm still trying to find myself again. I think I will do my best.
"The PSL is faster than the league I was playing in before, so I'm still trying to adapt."
AmaZulu next play host to Sekhukhune United in their MTN8 quarter-final on Sunday.
