Gospel singer Dumi Mkokstad hasn't fallen out of love with soccer, as he vented his frustration on Amazulu FC goalkeeper Richard Ofori on social media.

This comes after the Betway Premiership clash between Kaizer Chiefs and Amazulu FC on Tuesday, where Ghanaian international Ofori in goals made a series of errors, costing Amazulu three points.

Sports photographer Vino Snap posted on his social page: "Ofori wasn't having the best day at the office today. He gave Amakhosi a lekker gift".

In response, the gospel singer said: "Ayi bafowethu ... ngiyinceku and shouldn't judge others. But angeke bafethu u Ofori uyabheda [Don't get me wrong guys, I am a man of God and I shouldn't judge others — but no guys, Richard Ofori sucks].

Ofori failed to handle the ball from the Kaizer Chiefs' new signing Makabi Lilepo. Usuthu drew 2-2 in the match at FNB Stadium.

The gospel singer is searching for talent and will be hosting auditions at Durban station on Friday.

When contacted, Dumi said: "I love soccer and I'm a Kaizer Chiefs fan, but I have relations with Amazulu. Richard Ofori is a good player but his performance made me wonder, is there something stressing him? I had to share my thoughts on the game because it was a great match."

Last year in July, Big Zulu was not unimpressed with Dumi's behaviour after he insisted on halting the game at the fourth instalment of his celebrity soccer tournament.

The event, which showcases gqom, gospel and hip-hop acts playing a friendly soccer game, saw the two stars engage in a heated argument at Tsakane Stadium over DJ Tira including professional players in his team instead of amateurs.
