Kaizer Chiefs will now play their next match at a different venue from the one initially planned after their clash against Orbit College on Monday was moved to the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

Rustenburg-based Orbit have been forced to move their match 1,200km away from Olympia Park in a bid to accommodate more fans. The game had initially been slated for Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace but it is not ready, necessitating the change for the game that will kick off at 15:00.

Casric Stars winger Mfundo Thikazi has broken his silence on speculation that linked him to Kaizer Chiefs during his spell with the now defunct Royal AM.

Thikazi was reported to be on the radar of Chiefs but a transfer did not materialise and he remained at the KwaZulu-Natal side before switching to Casric when the club struggled financially before being expelled from the PSL.

“I used to hear that Chiefs wanted me from the media but the chairlady [Shawn Mkhize] has never told me anything because I was more like her child but I used to see on social media people saying Kaizer Chiefs wants me but that wasn’t in my mind, I just continued with my work and making sure that I score goals,” Thikazi told FARPost.

Fixture congestion without CAF! Busy April for Amakhosi

Kaizer Chiefs will have one of their busiest months in April despite being involved in only one competition.

Chiefs are set to begin their April futures programme on East Monday away to Orbit College and six days later, they will be hosting TS Galaxy at the FNB Stadium. Just three days later on April 15, they will be in action against Magesi FC at the Peter Mokaba Stadium before another match in the same city, as they take on Polokwane City on April 18.

That will give way to the Soweto Derby, which will be played at the FNB Stadium on Sunday April 26 ,as they look to avenge the 3-0 defeat to Orlando Pirates in February. Chiefs will close the month with a match away to Siwelele FC at the Free State Stadium on April 29.
