Why Chiefs opted to let midfielder leave

Kaizer Chiefs DStv Diski Challenge coach Vela Khumalo has explained why the club decided not to retain Xhosa Manyana, who had arrived from Cape Town City FC.

The 20-year-old joined on a short-term deal from Cape Town City FC during the January transfer window.

According to Khumalo, the youngster, who now plays for Motsepe Foundation Championship side Hope FC, struggled to acclimatize to Johannesburg.

“We decided not to keep him. Remember, he even struggled to get game time while he was with us,” Khumalo told KickOff.

“He played too few minutes. He is not a bad player, but I think the difference between the altitude in Cape Town and Johannesburg was too big for him. It did not work in his favour.
