Today’s Kaizer Chiefs news wrap features a controversial opinion about trophy success and a blow regarding Mfundo Vilakazi.

However, another season outside of the MTN8 places will be a sign that Chiefs aren’t getting any closer to winning the league crown. Erik Ten Hag got sacked by Man United despite winning the EFL and FA Cups. The board decided that their dwindling league position, despite massive expenditure on players, was unacceptable.

Obrigado to miss Kaizer Chiefs vs Orlando Pirates clashes
Breakout Kaizer Chiefs star Mfundo ‘Obrigado’ Vilakazi is a regular in Amakhosi matchday squads. However, he will miss both upcoming meetings with Orlando Pirates. The teenage winger is part of the South African U20 side at the most inopportune time for Pirates, ruling him out of these two matches. The U20 AFCON takes place between 26 April and 18 May.
Khune to coach Bafana?
In a recent Instagram reel, Itumeleng Khune and Brian Baloyi took part in an ‘Agree or Disagree’ debate with a passionate Pirates fan.

“Hopefully, the doors will open,” the former Amakhosi man replied.
