"It doesn't rain, it pours for our team."

Skhumbule Khumalo made a suggestion:

"Khosi nation, I think let's wait for TS Galaxy to get a top striker. We will buy from Sukazi; he's the only one who wants to see a strong Chiefs."

Mdu A Shezi is frustrated:

"They'll now call us 'Miss Out' FC."

Donald Märädönä Jakkals is pessimistic:

"They're going to miss out on the league this season."

Siyatanda Rsa says Chiefs will struggle to get players:

"Even players are not interested in joining a struggling team."

Mlungu KaMangethe says Mayele made the right choice:

"Pyramids are more ambitious than Kaizer Chiefs; they play in the continental cup. It would always be difficult for them to let go of one of their best."

Sandile Siboniso Mthembu blamed Chiefs:

"This Chiefs team is not serious, not that other teams don't want to sell them players. Their negotiating team needs help, or they must be fired."
