Razundara Tjikuzu (born December 12, 1979 in Swakopmund , South West Africa , today Namibia ) is a Namibian professional footballer .

career

The defensive player Tjikuzu, who grew up as a half-orphan in South West Africa (from 1990 Namibia), did not join any football club in his home country. In 1995 he was discovered by SV Werder Bremen and initially committed to the club's youth teams for a year. Tjikuzu, who had never spoken German before, graduated from secondary school in Bremen after just a few months and finally, after three years in the SV Werder boarding school, joined Bremen's second senior team in 1998, for which he competed in the Regionalliga Nord .

For the 1999/2000 Bundesliga season, Tjikuzu moved up to the squad of Bremen's first team and made his debut in the team's starting line-up on the first match day. With a total of 26 appearances during the same season, Tjikuzu became a regular player. Due to disciplinary problems, however, he was unable to establish himself permanently in Bremen. Several times he is said to have appeared drunk at training, often he was late or absent without excuse. In 2002 Tjikuzu was transferred back to the second team in Bremen and a change of club was suggested to him. In addition to adjustment difficulties in Germany, the separation from his girlfriend at the time, with whom he has a child, is said to have been the reason for his disciplinary problems. Although he ran again for Bremen's first team in the Bundesliga at the end of the 2002/03 season, Tjikuzu moved to Bundesliga rivals FC Hansa Rostock in the summer of 2003 . For Bremen, Tjikuzu had played 68 Bundesliga games, three appearances in the DFB Cup (one goal) and one appearance in the league cup .

In Rostock Tjikuzu initially completed all 34 league games during the 2003/04 season and scored his first Bundesliga goal on November 22, 2003 against FC Schalke 04 . However, disciplinary problems arose again, the culmination of which was a car accident caused by Tjikuzu in a drunken state, as a result of which he also committed a hit-and-run. In the spring of the 2004/05 season , in which Tjikuzu had played another 15 missions, his contract with FC Hansa was finally terminated by the club after he had been absent from training without excuse. His move to Hamburger SV for the following season, which had already been confirmed at the time, did not take place against this background. For the 2005/06 season , Tijkuzu moved instead to the newly promoted Bundesliga MSV Duisburg . For Rostock he had played 49 league games (four goals), four appearances in the cup (one goal) and one appearance in the league cup.

For MSV, Tjikuzu played 23 Bundesliga games and one appearance in the cup, but also attracted attention in Duisburg with alcohol abuse and left the club after just one season.

On June 25, 2006, Tjikuzu announced his move to Çaykur Rizespor . After 16 appearances in the Turkish Süper Lig for Rizespor in the 2006/07 season , he moved to the 2007/08 season for Istanbul first division promoted Istanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor , where he signed a contract until 2010. With 29 appearances during the season, Tjikuzu contributed to the relegation of the promoted team as twelfth in the final table. In the following season 2008/09 Tjikuzu completed another 25 missions for Istanbul before he moved to Trabzonspor in the summer of 2009 within the Turkish Süper Lig , but could not prevail there and was awarded to Diyarbakırspor in early 2010 . With Diyarbakırspor Tjikuzu then rose from the second-rate 1st Lig and returned to Trabzon, where however no more plans were made with him. In August 2010, he then signed a new contract with the first division side Kasımpaşa Istanbul . At the end of the season Kasımpaşa did not manage to avoid relegation and parted ways with Tjikuzu. From August 2012 to summer 2013 he played at Tigers in Windhoek . In the summer of 2013, Tijkuzu then moved within the league, from the Tigers to the African Stars, and after one season came under the captain of UNAM FC . At the beginning of October 2015, Tijkuzu then moved to the Namibian 3rd division for SK Windhoek .

Tjikuzu played 47 times for the Namibian national soccer team until March 2008.
