However, his fans watched with great excitement last Saturday as Zuma put on his Amakhosi jersey and ran on the grass green for the first time in 10 months.

“It was a great feeling to be back on the pitch again,” the player known as Msholozi told Kaizer Chiefs’ media.

“I haven’t been playing for the past 10 months and I felt the nerves. I was scared a bit, it’s been long since I played, but after 10 minutes in the game everything felt fine. 

“The first ball I received I was thinking to play it safe and not make mistakes, but after a few minutes I was comfortable and could be the Zuma people know,” the former Bloemfontein Celtic star added.
