Kaizer Chiefs defender Zitha Kwinika is facing the exit gate at Amakhosi.
KAIZER CHIEFS TO PART WAYS WITH ZITHA KWINIKA?
The 31-year-old defender made a headline move to Amakhosi from Stellenbosch FC in June 2022. It was a return to his development team for the Soweto-born player. Despite decent game time under previous Kaizer Chiefs coaches Arthur Zwane, Molefe Ntseki and Cavin Johnson, Kwinika has not started a single competitive match under Nasreddine Nabi. According to Soccer Laduma, Kwinika is keen on a loan move until his contract with Kaizer Chiefs expires in June.
“Sources close to the player suggest that a loan move is the most likely option, allowing him to secure regular playing time elsewhere,” the outlet reported. “There is reported interest in Kwinika from clubs in Polokwane and KwaZulu-Natal, though the specifics of these potential moves remain unclear.”
UPDATE: AMAZULU FC
In the meantime, Durban giants AmaZulu are keen on the former Stellenbosch captain. According to Soccer Laduma, coach Arthur Zwane wants to reunite with Kwinika.
BOBBY MOTAUNG FOR KAIZER CHIEFS LEADERSHIP
Remember Siboniso Gaxa at Kaizer Chiefs? The former full-back has suggested that Kaizer Motuang Jr is not the right man to lead the club.
Speaking on Robert Mawara’s SportsWorldWide show on 947, Gaxa believes that Bobby Motaung, who is the club’s Football Manager, should replace his Sporting Director brother, Kaizer Motaung Jr. Gaxa feels Kaizer Chiefs would then reclaim their lost glory. “I always think that Bobby should be given full responsibility, not half, but full responsibility to run the club. Bobby is an exceptionally incredible man. It’s unfortunate that people that don’t understand him, don’t know him.
“If Jessica Motaung [Marketing Director] and Bobby, both of them, can be given full responsibility to run that club; I strongly believe they would make exceptional changes. The club would then do well,” the former Kaizer Chiefs defender added.
Asked who should be removed to allow Bobby and Jessica to take charge, Gaxa said he would not know.
Kaizer Chiefs’ media team must be sweating after Wandile Duba said the unexpected.
Amakhosi‘s 20-year-old striker is currently one of the best players at Kaizer Chiefs lately, with two goals in the past three matches, and that has come with media attention. Speaking ahead of Sunday’s battle with Sekhukhune United in the Betway Premiership at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, Duba said supporters on social media forget that the players are human beings who never intend to lose matches.
“We do chat as youngsters on the criticism we receive as a team because there are those people who type bullshit, sorry to use that language, but they say those things without thinking that we are also human beings,” he said shared by @PatBafo via X.
“I don’t think there is any player who goes onto the field of play with the purpose of playing badly and intentionally make Chiefs lose games; all of us want to win and give our all.
“But the way we deal with the supporters’ criticism is that after a loss, we just uninstall Instagram so that we don’t see and get the criticism to protect ourselves. We just don’t go on social media,” the Kaizer Chiefs forward added.
