Zuma - a handful for defenders. (Allsport)
SIBUSISO ZUMA
Position: Forward
Born: 23.06.75
Club: FC Copenhagen
Sibusiso Zuma, often known as Zuma, has burst onto the South African scene with lightning pace his major asset.
He plays for FC Copenhagen and Superligaen experts will tell you that he is one of the hottest players in Danish football.
He made his debut for Bafana Bafana against Angola in October 1998 but had to wait several games before he scored his first goal against Mauritius in March 2001. Sadly, his father died days before his debut.
Zuma has played up front, but also frequently plays on the wing. Because of his pace, Zuma is often man marked and this can sometimes lead to confrontations on the pitch.
However, the South African has a good temperament and rarely gets into trouble.
Was one of three South Africans to hit the target during the African Nations Cup in February, but his goal proved in vain as they crashed out in the quarter-finals.
He could prove to be a handful for many a defender during the World Cup.
