Kaizer Chiefs haven’t been title contenders since 2020

@TheeUltimateLee on X, again in 2023, claimed Bobby Motaung, Kaizer Motaung Jr, Jessica Motaung and co aren’t match for the roles entrusted to them throughout the membership by Dr Motaung Sr. It’s a daring idea, however one price contemplating. Has Mr Motaung Jr achieved the goals laid right down to him because the sporting director of the Kaizer Chiefs soccer membership? It’s uncertain. One fan stated he was ‘constructing his legacy on a wetland.’

That idea was two years in the past and fan sentiments haven’t modified.

Trophy drought continues whereas Kaizer Chiefs stays marketable

There doesn’t appear to be one, in fact, whereas relations of Dr Motaung proceed to get pleasure from comfy roles throughout the framework of one in all Africa’s hottest, well-followed, simply marketable and worthwhile golf equipment. 

Chiefs and Pirates are miles away from Sundowns

The Glamour Boys are 17 factors off the title tempo with 13 video games to go, and Sundowns have a sport in hand. Realistically, Nasreddine Nabi’s facet can be aiming for a top-eight end and qualification for subsequent season’s MTN8. 2024-2025 has change into one other stark reminder of the gulf between Chiefs and Sundowns. The Brazilians have received the league crown for seven years working, in eight of the final 9 and 9 of the final 11. Orlando Pirates’ emergence this season has created flickering hope that they are often usurped, however Sundowns’ 4-1 mauling of the Buccaneers final weekend has extinguished these sparks for now. A protracted-term harm to key Pirates defender Thabiso Sesane makes one other enormous dent of their title aspirations.
