Dumisani Zuma's controversial stay at Kaizer Chiefs has come to a somewhat unsurprising end.

The club announced earlier today that it had decided to part ways with the 27-year-old midfielder having placed him on suspension with a year still left on his contract. The past season had proved rather difficult for him at Naturena.

In late 2021, Zuma was suspended after he was reportedly found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol. Then at the end of April, it turned out that he was suspended a second time after a falling out with coach Arthur Zwane.
