‘Chiefs are not ready to face Pirates in Soweto derby! Mako’s heart is it Bucs; We can’t tolerate loss to Amakhosi’

The first Soweto derby this season goes down on Saturday at the FNB Stadium, where Kaizer Chiefs will be hosting Orlando Pirates in the Premier Soccer League.

Amakhosi are desperate to end a four-match winless run against their traditional rivals in the league, while the Buccaneers are definitely keen on making it five in a row.

Ahead of the fixture, have a look at what the fans are saying as sampled by Afrik-Foot.

What is Ncikazi’s role?

Is it too late to exchange Andre De Jong and get DevinTitus instead? –  Lerato Basetsana Senne

What is Mandla Ncikazi’s role at Pirates? I mean, Abdeslam Ouaddou is changing everything in his presence – Le Casmo 

Andre De Jong is good, but as long as he doesn’t go near FNB Stadium or wear an Orlando Pirates t-shirt – Letsae Edmond Ntlape

Please give Kabelo Dlamini a chance. Brandon Petersen needs someone who’ll shoot from distance, as Devin Titus did – Makhandlela Mchunu 

Please let Ouaddou know we can’t tolerate losing to Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns with his Marumo Gallants players. Thalente Mbatha is needed in midfield – Sam Sam

Chiefs please don’t disappoint us

Kaizer Chiefs can you kindly please not disappoint us; please fight, guys, fight with everything you have – Sarah Tshabalala Dliwayo

Kaizer Chiefs, can we get free Vuvuzelas because our football culture is slowly dying? The stadiums are not loud enough anymore, like the old days – Phenyo Pooe

Please check these players mentally and emotionally before they go to the pitch. I’m still haunted by that open net miss from Ashley du Preez – Hlungwani Marvin Mixo

I don’t wish to see Paseka Mako. I feel like his heart is still with Orlando Pirates, and to play him can be a big mistake – Judah N Dlamini 

I know the derby is different, but Kaizer Chiefs are not ready to face Orlando Pirates Football Club, they should maintain the goals, not embarrass us – Lungelo Hlongwane
