DURBAN — AmaZulu have suspended defender Carlington Nyadombo indefinitely. The 29-year-old is at the centre of a storm, with certain club supporters accusing him of using muti to ensure the team loses.
AmaZulu have supposedly had to increase security at training to keep upset fans at bay, while the Zimbabwean international has also missed the last two matches since the news broke.
Steve Barker confirmed the news of Nyadombo’s suspension today, saying: “The decision that has been taken by the club is that we have suspended Carlington Nyadombo indefinitely. That’s all I can say at this stage.”
Nyadombo’s agent, Mike Mabaab of ProSport International, yesterday hit out at the rumours surrounding his client.
“I’m saddened by how the media has taken it and made it like this boy is doing things against the club, which is absolutely nonsense,” he told KickOff.com.
“We are talking about somebody who’s got integrity and someone who has captained Zimbabwe and has been at AmaZulu for so many years.
“Unless someone can come to the fore and give proof of what has been said than I must wonder where this came from.”
AmaZulu are languishing at the foot of the ABSA Premiership standings, having lost all four of their matches since the turn of the year.
This Sunday they go to high-flying SuperSport United. Meanwhile, SuperSport United coach Gordon Igesund has warned opposing teams that his new strike-force of Jeremy Brockie and Kingston Nkhatha still have a lot of goals in them this season.
The New Zealander and Zimbabwean were on the score-sheet again Wednesday night as Matsatsantaa thumped Polokwane City 4-1 in the Nedbank Cup.
“What I like about him (Brockie) is that he is a humble player who never stops working hard,” the former Bafana Bafana coach says.
“You have already seen what you can expect from him and he will get better and better. “I am also happy with Nkhatha. He has also scored three goals since arriving. Then there is Dove Wome. He could have got a hat-trick against Polokwane City and should have done better in those situations.” — KickOff
