“Wish DStv clubs owned their own stadiums in order to make revenue so they can challenge for CAF. Our clubs except for Pirates, Chiefs and Sundowns don't have the funds because of this issue.”

“Ngidi, Kolisi, Mtawarira, Cheslin are all signed to Roc Nation. I don't see what they did for them, though I could be missing it. Let's hope they actually do something for Sundowns. Love to see SA soccer dominate the continent as it deserves to. Good luck ka bo yellow.”
3 Players who pushed their luck at both Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs
In another sports story, Briefly News reported that a few players who used to play for Mamelodi Sundowns decided to move over to Kaizer Chiefs and give it a try.
Since Keagan Dolly became the latest one to do so, Briefly News compiled a list of other players who made the switch. Being a footballer comes with its own challenges and sometimes players swap clubs because they need a new experience.
Sometimes, they'll even go through different rival clubs to find their place. Briefly News takes a look at four players who've played for both Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs.
