Bantubakhe Godana backs the move:

“R30m is more than 2 PSL cups, so it’s a good deal business-wise. Chiefs are not a selfish team; they always allow their players to go for greener pastures.”

“Let him go if he is going abroad.”

Motive Siphow Maphosa says Du Preez will benefit from staying:

“If he stays next season, Nabi will make England come running for him.”

“One of the underrated strikers. The boy can do wonders if given enough supply; if he goes abroad, I see more goals coming from him.”

Cape Town Spurs demands a proper bid from Kaizer Chiefs

As Briefly News reported, Cape Town Spurs boss Alexi Efstathiou said they are still waiting for a serious offer from Kaizer Chiefs for winger Asanele Velebayi.

Chiefs have long been interested in the Spurs winger, but the Cape Town side said they will only consider a massive offer after their relegation from the PSL last season.
