Kaizer Chiefs forward Dumisani Zuma believes that the combination between himself, Khama Billiat and Leonardo Castro could ‘kill’ teams should their understanding keep improving.

The 23-year-old looks to be setting in at Naturena after a difficult debut season at the club under former coach Steve Komphela where he managed three goals in 17 league appearances, which included just two starts.

Although the former Bloemfontein Celtic forward is yet to make an Absa Premiership appearance this season, he has impressed in his two MTN8 appearances having picked up a goal and an assist.

The forward has looked to link up with former Mamelodi Sundowns duo and the front three showed signs of their improved understanding against SuperSport United in the MTN8 semi-final first leg.

Speaking to KickOff.com, he highlighted the importance of performing in his second season at the club and hailed his growing partnership with Castro and Billiat.

‘Ja, obviously I’m happy [with the goal and assist] because you know you must assist or score, so I’m quite happy with my performance so far.

‘It’s long overdue. It’s important that I perform now in my second season so that I can help the team to win something.’

‘There’s some understanding between us, and I think if the combination keeps getting stronger it will kill so many teams this season,’ Zuma added on his combination with the two forwards.

‘They’ve got experience, they are always telling us what to do and it’s quite nice to play with them. They’ve taught us a lot already and we can still learn a lot as well.’
