Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana legend Doctor Khumalo to help build football academy in ambitious Tanzania

Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo could become integral to lifting Tanzanian football to greater heights on the African continent.

As reported by Sports Brief, Khumalo said that football authorities in the East African nation have approached him to be involved in the construction of a football academy there. '16V' is in the country for the Tanzanian Blue Economy Football Development Summit 2022.

This was just days after Khumalo took aim at SAFA for overlooking the likes of Lucas Radebe in the rebirth of local football.
