Kaizer Chiefs supporters have yearned for a new winger. Glody Lilepo has arrived.
GLODY LILEPO MAKES HIS KAIZER CHIEFS DEBUT, GIVEN NICKNAME
As seen in the Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates, the 27-year-old Glody Lilepo came on in the second half to replace George Matlou. It did not take long for his name to trend on social media, but it was not the one on his passport. Kaizer Chiefs fans have taken to calling the Democratic Republic of Congo international “Lollipop.”

AMAKHOSI MESSAGE TO MOROCCO
In the meantime, the Soweto giants’ Director of Marketing, Jessica Motaung, has expressed gratitude to Morocco after last week’s AFCON 2025 draw.
“Kaizer Chiefs Football Club would like to extend warmest congratulations to the Kingdom of Morocco on being awarded the rights to host the headquarters of the African Club Association (ACA),” the club said. “The Royal Moroccan Football Association signed a memorandum of understanding with ACA president Hersi Said, aiming to host the headquarters of the association in the Kingdom.
“The announcement was made in Morocco, coinciding with the Africa Cup of Nations draw. The establishment of the ACA headquarters in Morocco will provide a solid foundation for the implementation of the organisation’s work.
The Kaizer Chiefs Marketing head added: “We welcome the decision to establish the ACA headquarters in Morocco. This move will undoubtedly strengthen the ACA’s presence on the continent and provide a hub for African club football development.
“We believe that hosting the ACA headquarters in Morocco is the right call, especially with the country gearing up to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. This partnership will undoubtedly benefit African club football and provide a platform for the growth of the game on the continent,” concluded Motaung.
