Another day, another Kaizer Chiefs transfer report.

SAMUKELO KABINI TO KAIZER CHIEFS?

Have the Glamour Boys given up on Fawaaz Basadien? According to Soccer Laduma, Amakhosi are targeting TS Galaxy’s 21-year-old left-back Kabini, a former Orlando Pirates development player. “Interest has been shown in Samukelo Kabini by Kaizer Chiefs,” the report said. “There have been talks about it, although there isn’t anything official at the moment. But Kabini could be the next player from TS Galaxy to leave after Thato Khiba’s move to Stellenbosch,” the source concluded.

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.

WANDILE DUBA NOT HAPPY WITH FANS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Kaizer Chiefs’ media team must have been sweating after Wandile Duba said something unexpected.

Amakhosi‘s 20-year-old striker is currently one of the best players at Kaizer Chiefs lately, with two goals in the past four matches, and that has come with media attention. Speaking ahead of last 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.
