Dumisani Zuma Shown the Door by Kaizer Chiefs After Disciplinary Issues Proved Too Much for the Club

• The dramatic turn of events involving Kaizer Chiefs and player Dumisani Zuma has reached what might be an inevitable conclusion
• The club earlier today chose to part ways with the 27-year-old after initially placing him on suspension for disciplinary issues
• Apart from a legal issue at the end of last year, Zuma also had a falling out with members of the coaching staff, something which pushed him towards the exit at Naturena

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.

EWN reported that 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, as per Soccer Laduma.

Kaizer Chiefs said in a social media statement:

“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.”
