Kaizer revisits his roots to kick-start Chiefs’ golden jubilee festivities. By DanieMothowagae
“That house has a history on its own of the people it hosted. It actually hosted almost every member of the Kaizer Chiefs family. Not only the players and officials but even [the club’s] supporters from all over the country. This place was popular. I must confess that I was very lucky because I had parents who were caring. Parents who were always willing to be part of the community and helped whenever they can, hence everyone was welcomed.
Motaung added that, as a gesture to pay homage to their multitudes of supporters, it was the reason the club had forgone the revenues from their home game against Highlands Park at FNB Stadium on Wednesday night for free entry. The marquee was set-up on the site of the old training grounds, which is opposite the house where it all started on Sentsho Street, Soweto. Pcture:
