Zuma is currently suspended by Chiefs after reporting for duty with a hangover from partying all night following the team’s 2-1 loss to Cape Town City.

His suspension was the second in six months – Zuma was initially suspended following his arrest for an alleged drink and driving charge in November 2021.

Zuma still has a year left on his current deal, and him requesting the clearance simply means he no longer wants to be associated with the Glamour Boys.

Zuma’s agent Basia Michaels wasn’t in a position to confirm or deny the reports simply because of the working relationship she has with Chiefs.

“This is a difficult question to answer because you know how Chiefs are about the media coming out with their camp news before they do,” Michaels told SABC Sport.
“We are still going through the disciplinary process and I ask that you give us time to ventilate it, from my personal experience the outcome won’t be favorable but weirder things have happened in football.”
“As soon as there is an outcome you know Chiefs will let the public know, sometimes even before we know…as the people involved. We have been waiting much longer than usual when it comes to these kinds of happenings to be brutally honest,” added Michaels.
