While the requirement for safety seems minimal, the Chiefs have only won once in 2024, while they have only earned a point in their last five PSL matches.

A Briefly News source said the club is committed to returning to winning ways, while former Chiefs winger Siphiwe Tshabalala has called for the team to give their all.

The source said:

"The players know they have not been at their best this season, and maybe it is because of all the things that have happened off the field, but we still believe in ourselves. We have the quality to improve things; if everything goes our way, we can still climb the log."

"We must vote for the first starting lineup and give it to our Coach, no Akhona 4 games in a row. Supersport and Sundowns are waiting for 3 points against us."

Themba Sfiso wants a massive change:

"Please release all the players with immediate effect. Yoooh ayyy."
