Zakazaka chases top scorer award in SA

With five goals, Zakazaka is second leading scorer in the South African second-tier league.

The African Warriors striker was not part of the Flames squad for the previous 2010 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Tunisia and Chad.

But the in form striker said he is not bitter with his continued exclusion from the Flames.

“Everything happens for a reason. I respect the coach’s position because he always has his plans. I am hopeful, though, that I will be considered for the forthcoming games because I have been scoring regularly,” said Zakazaka on Thursday from Free State.

He is the second leading scorer to Vasco da Gama’s  Keena Reanch and FC Cape Town’s Tsepo Lekata who have seven goals apiece Zakazaka was also the second top scorer in 2006 and 2008.

Flames forward Atusaye Nyondo won the NFD Golden Boot Award last season and is currently the third leading scorer in the South African Premier Soccer League with six goals.
