In a clear reference to their 2019-20 Absa Premiership title race‚ Kaizer Chiefs’ chairman Kaizer Motaung has urged the current team to “write their names in history”.
Making the point that a 50th anniversary celebration season only comes once‚ Motaung told his squad and technical staff that they have a unique opportunity to be remembered as the team that “achieved” in that one special campaign.
“I would like to address the current players‚ and say to you guys‚ ‘You must thank God you are here‚ you are part of this history’‚” Motaung said. “Whatever achievements you are going to achieve‚ if you become successful‚ that will be engraved in the history of this club forever. “You have an opportunity to redeem yourself after the few hiccups in the past few weeks. The opportunity is there.“So I wish you everything of the best‚ I wish you well for the remainder of the season.“Just remember what role you play in the [happiness] index of this country. Your role is very significant.
