Kaizer Chiefs’ Zulu: I have been entrusted with a very hard task

Kaizer Chiefs defender Philani Zulu is relishing his defensive responsibilities with the Glamour Boys.

During his time with Maritzburg United, Zulu was employed primarily a left-winger. In his four seasons with Chiefs, he’s alternated between left-back and left-wing, but of late has become coach Gavin Hunt’s preferred option on the left side of defence.

It's a position which has been troublesome for Hunt – he’s also used the likes of Yagan Sasman, Siphosakhe Ntiya-Ntiya and Daniel Cardoso in that role this term. Recent showings by Zulu though have suggested that he could be the answer.
