AmaZulu midfielder Bongani Zungu could have a tainted career after Bernard Parker's revelations following Zungu's leg-breaking tackle.
There were fears that Parker may not return to play professional football again, after a leg-breaking tackle by Zungu playing for Mamelodi Sundowns against TS Galaxy in the Carling Knockout back in October 2023.

The former Sundowns midfielder triggered huge criticism on social media after he did not appear remorseful for his tackle, as he pleaded innocence with the referee.
The incident dominated the football discussions in the country, on Zungu's sportsmanship or lack thereof.
Although former Masandawana coach Rulani Mokwena suggested that he reached out to Parker to show compassion on his injury by sending him flowers while he was at hospital and that Zungu apologized on social media platform Instagram, Parker says the pair did not reach out to him.
"It was terrible, horrible man actually, not good for football or sport and when this unfortunate injury happened, how the person (Zungu) can react after this, I wouldn't say it was intentional or whatever," Parker said on Izinja zeGame podcast with Josta Dladla.
"But you can see somebody is laying down and his leg is going like this (broken and out of joint) and you still want to defend yourself and it was live on TV, the whole country saw that and still after, not even coming to see me, to reach out, really think about that...

"And also what made me sad about it is his coach (Rulani Mokwena) also never reached out as well. I'm an easy type of a guy, I could have easily went to the media and make this thing big, I could have even taken legal action but that's not me," the Amakhosi legend revealed.
Parker is currently the head coach of the Galaxy Diski Challenge team, after he retired at the end of last season.
