Dumisani Zuma Has Been Released By Kaizer Chiefs Following Disciplinary Issues

Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed that they have parted ways with attacker Dumisani Zuma, influenced by his "numerous disciplinary issues". 

Zuma had one-year left on his contract with the Soweto giants, but after he was suspended for a second time this past season in May, it became clear that his time with the club was all but up. Now, about a month since it was confirmed that he was suspended, the club has announced that he will no longer be part of the team going forward. 

Chiefs have, in fact, revealed the former Bloemfontein Celtic man had been suspended "a number of times" during his time at Naturena.

In a statement, Chiefs said: "Attacking midfielder Dumsani Zuma's numerous disciplinary issues have led to the Club letting him go with a year still remaining on his contract. This follows his latest appearance in front of the DC, which resulted in his dismissal as recommended by an independent authority. The 27-year-old only featured three times in 2021/22 for Chiefs. 

"Since joining from Bloemfontein Celtic in 2017, he has been suspended a number of times, including twice in one season. He was also sent to rehab and counselling in the season that just ended. Over five seasons, he played 100 matches (25 starts + 75 subs) and scored 13 goals. We wish Dumi well in the future."
