Published on by

Here’s a round-up of the latest developments involving Kaizer Chiefs in the last 24 hours as the Soweto giants prepare for a crucial Premier Soccer League clash while pressure continues to mount on the team.


Chiefs face must-win Durban City clash

Kaizer Chiefs will host Durban City FC at FNB Stadium on Sunday as they look to end a worrying run of four consecutive defeats across all competitions.

Amakhosi won the previous meeting between the sides thanks to a goal from Flavio Silva after an assist from Gaston Sirino, and they will be hoping for a similar outcome to revive their campaign.


Fans lose patience with Chiefs co-coaches

A growing number of supporters have voiced frustration with the club’s current situation, particularly the leadership of co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef.

Kwinika warns Chiefs to prepare for tough Durban City challenge

Defender Zitha Kwinika has urged his teammates to prepare carefully for the encounter, describing Durban City as a well-organised side capable of changing their approach during matches.
