Kaizer Chiefs fans are vocal at the worst of times, diplomatic at the best of times. What are the club’s prospects of silverware in 2025?
Is Kaizer Chiefs a spaza shop?
We love the comments from our readers, especially the funnier ones. One fan believes Chiefs is ‘run like a spaza shop’ and you can maybe make your own deductions about that comment.
MTN8 spot on the line
Kaizer Chiefs dominated possession and mustered 17 shots at the City goal but failed to get on the score sheet. Mduduzi Shabalala missed a gilt-edged opportunity in the 42nd minute but, in truth, Chiefs didn’t create much else of value. It was a result that left them in eighth place in the Betway Premiership with 29 points after 21 games. Golden Arrows were ninth with 24 points, but they have three games in hand on Amakhosi. It’s not unthinkable to suggest that Arrows could usurp their more illustrious rivals by the end of 2024-2025. Knox Mutizwa was the only goal-scorer as Arrows claimed a slender 1-0 win away to Polokwane on Wednesday. Intriguingly, Abafana Bes’thende host Chiefs on March 30th. That looks like a pivotal clash in the race for a top eight finish.
New transfer strategy revealed?
According to SoccerLaduma, Chiefs are pivoting their recruitment strategy by targeting players who aren’t being chased by rival clubs from the Betway Premiership.
“What the club has decided on their recruitment policy is to try and sign as many players as possible who are not in demand from their local rivals. On many occasions, when they are competing with other local teams, they end up not signing those players. Now that’s why they have reignited the pursuit of Luke Le Roux. He is a South African but currently playing in Europe and they believe they stand a better chance of signing him,” the insider said.
How do things stand now?
