Official: Chiefs Make Decision On Zuma Future

Kaizer Chiefs have continued their squad clearcut and have released Dumisani Zuma a year before his contract expires after “numerous disciplinary issues”.

On Wednesday, Amakhosi confirmed that the contract of Samir Nurkovic, Lazalous Kambole, Daniel Cardoso, Kearyn Baccus, Leonardo Castro, Lebogang Manyama and Daniel Akpeyi will not be extended.

In addition, Anthony Agay was put on the transfer list, while the club also announced they parted ways with Lee Baxter.

On Thursday, Chiefs announced the departure of Zuma, mainly due to his poor disciplinary record at Naturena.

“Attacking midfielder Dumsani Zuma’s numerous disciplinary issues have led to the Club letting him go with a year still remaining on his contract,” the club said in a statement.

“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.”
