Operation Dudula chief, Nhlanhla 'Lux' Dlamini, who for the past year has been in overdrive hunting down undocumented foreigners in continuous episodes of South Africa's xenophobic attacks, has hinted at shifting focus to that country's premier soccer league, home to hundreds of foreign nationals, including Zimbabweans.

Militant Dlamini, who was watching the latest edition of the Soweto derby at Soccer City which ended in favour of Kaizer Chiefs, took to Twitter to question the composition of both Chiefs and rivals, Orlando Pirates.
He demanded that at least five Soweto-born players be included in the starting lineups, teams hire coaches from Soweto before promising that he will soon be taking active interest in soccer.

“I need to formally take this up with both Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates & Swallows. The “Soweto” Derby must atleast field 10 players from Soweto (5 on each team).This will also fast track the development of soccer in Soweto,” he said.
Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates had a total five foreigners in their lineups at the weekend - Zimbabwean Khama Billiat, Edmilson Dove (Mozambique, Kaizer Chiefs), Ghanaian Kwame Peprah, Nigerian Olisa Ndah and Namibian Deon Hotto.
