Kaizer Chiefs have released an official statement regarding attacking midfielder Dumisani Zuma, who was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence.

Zuma was reportedly arrested for drunken driving in the early hours of last Wednesday morning by police at a roadblock in Sandton.

The 26-year-old was released on bail after his arrest and Chiefs have subsequently suspended the midfielder following an internal investigation.

The Soweto giants released the following statement:

“Kaizer Chiefs is disappointed to learn of the recent alleged conduct of Dumisani Zuma as reported in the media and has taken the decision to immediately suspend him from all Club activities pending an internal disciplinary hearing.

“His suspension is in the interests of all parties concerned and does not in itself carry any inference of guilt or prejudgement.

“The Club will ensure the matter is resolved as quickly as reasonably possible.”
