It was his off-the-field beaviour that led to his sudden departure from Pirates, and he now
Now, the 28-year-old regrets the manner in which he left Pirates, saying if he was the person he is now, he would be far in life.
Zungu takes full responsibility of what happened at Pirates, and also blames the outside forces in his life at the time.
Furthermore, Zungu feels perhaps the move to Pirates got to his head so much so that he ended up losing focus.
Nonetheless, he is grateful to Pirates for trying to look after him even when things were not going well in his life and career.
Zungu is currently on the books of Pretoria Callies in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
He has featured in six of the eight opening league matches that Callies have played so far this season.
ORLANDO PIRATES FLOP REGRETS HOW HE LEFT THE CLUB
“I regret how I left Pirates because I feel like they were taking care of me,” he told FARPost.
“I and outside forces ended up with them [Pirates] giving up on me. So, that’s my biggest regret. If I was the person I am now, how I think and how I see things. If I had used that while I was still there [at Pirates] I would have been far by now.
“Not that it’s a lost opportunity, but I was not in a good space personally. I think the environment that surrounded me at the time. Maybe I also got too excited and forgot why I was there,” he added.
“I feel that’s what happened but now I know the situation I come from, and I don’t want to go back there. That’s why I say I am starting from scratch with everything. I have left all the bad things behind me. Now, I need to make my life better and focus on football.”
