Latest Kaizer Chiefs news in the last 24 hours, including Amakhosi wanting to go on a FIFA break with three points against Golden Arrows, the Glamour Boys product happy with return, and more.
Important to get three points
Kaizer Chiefs defender Thabo Moloisane says it’s important that the club returns to winning ways and closes the gap with the top teams, ahead of the international break next week.
Chiefs are away to Golden Arrows at a neutral venue at Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga on Sunday.
Chiefs were held to a 1-1 draw by Polokwane City last week, and they dropped points in that game, which saw them being overtaken on the third spot by AmaZulu and dropped down to fourth.
Bafana Bafana defender Moloisane’s main focus is managing the gap at the top.
“It’s gonna be extremely important for us to get three points: we’ve played two draws in games that we should have won and especially now that we are going into the FIFA break,” Moloisane said.

“It will be extremely important for us to continue the FIFA break with three points, and it will take a bit of pressure off our shoulders knowing that we are keeping up with the teams that are on top of the league.”
Chiefs graduate makes a bold promise to fans
Kaizer Chiefs academy graduate Darrel Matsheke has made a promise to the Stellenbosch FC faithful after completing a return to the Cape Winelands side for a second spell.
Speaking to the club’s media department following his unveiling, Matsheke expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to rejoin the side.
“It feels great to be back at Stellenbosch FC. It was unexpected, but I am really happy to be here. I can only thank God for the opportunity, and the Club and the coach for trusting me enough to bring me back,” he stated.
The midfielder insists he has a point to prove and aims to help the club build on their recent achievements.
“I want to pick up where I left off on the field and help the team compete… I missed out on the opportunity to play in Africa [CAF Confederation Cup] last time,” he added.
“So, there’s a bit of unfinished business, but this is a second chance for me to do more and achieve those goals.”
Matsheke has been handed the number 31 jersey for the current campaign. He could make his first appearance of the campaign when Stellenbosch clash with Kruger United in the Betway Premiership this weekend.
