Kaizer Chiefs DStv Diski Starlet Wandile Duba Tipped for Great Things by Coach Vela Khumalo

• Rising Kaizer Chiefs star Wandile Duba has a bright future ahead of him, according to Amakhosi reserve team coach Vela Khumalo
• Duba was almost unplayable last Saturday in Chiefs' relatively comfortable 2-0 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns in the DStv Diski Shield semifinal
• In a country short of quality strikers, Khumalo said Duba would break the downward trend in goalscorers

Young Kaizer Chiefs striker Wandile Duba is going to be a top striker one day.

That is the glowing opinion of his coach Vela Khumalo, who remains impressed with his growth. He scored a sensational goal in the Amakhosi's memorable 2-0 DStv Diski Shield victory over Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday in Soshanguve, which has been on everyone's lips since.

Speaking to The Citizen, Khumalo said:

“Mark my words, you can write this down. Bula is going to be a top striker in the country. Yes, we have Mduduzi Shabalala who is a very special player as well as Mfundo Vilakazi. But with Bula, we have been lacking strikers in South Africa for a very long time now and I am telling you, Bula is a deadly striker, I have never seen a deadly striker like him."

Duba's goal took him to the top of the goalscorers' charts with three in the Shield. Chiefs will take on Stellenbosch FC in the final of the competition, with the latter looking to become the first team to win both the Diski Challenge and Shield.

TPLMedia reported that Duba was given a contract extension by the club in June.
