Kaizer Chiefs star opens up on fan abuse
At just the age of 21, Duba faces the full joy and wrath from football fans.
The Kaizer Chiefs star has opened up on how he deals with the praise, criticism and extremists who go as far as threatening his life!
“It’s just the comments, people coming to your account. Some commenting threatening to kill you and all that. I don’t think on the last game I wasn’t on my right state of mind. So, I didn’t even go to go play,” Wandile Duba said as quoted by Soccer Laduma.
Duba missed out on his side’s previous victory against Golden Arrows. Prior to that, he started all of Kaizer Chiefs’ matches this season.
Where do you draw the line?
As a football fan, where do you draw the line? There’s passion and then there’s sheer madness. Threatening someone’s life should never be acceptable. We send love and peace to Kaizer Chiefs star Wandile Duba.
