Kaizer Chiefs can’t afford to bench a ‘talented’ player like Zuma – Dladla

The Amakhosi attacker’s former coach urges Middendorp to use the creative midfielder on a regular basis

Former Real Kings coach Simo Dladla has urged Kaizer Chiefs to use midfielder Dumisani Zuma regularly, saying the Premier Soccer League (PSL) giants cannot afford to bench such a talented player.

Dladla is the one who unearthed the Amakhosi attacker before joining Bloemfontein Celtic under coach Ernst Middendorp in 2014, stating he knew the former Siwelele player was going to become one of the best players in the South African top-flight.

Moreover, the experienced manager has also reminisced on how he used to encourage the 24-year-old to take on defenders, saying they recently had a chat about the beautiful memories they had at Kings.
