According to a Soccer Laduma source, Chiefs are unwilling to meet AmaZulu's asking price for Hanamub, an alternative to Basadien, a player Stellenbosch is determined to keep.

The source said:

"Since they are struggling to get Basadien, they turned their attention to Riaan Hanamub, who AmaZulu are pricing at R8.5 million, but Chiefs are only willing to go as far as R4 million. That is where the situation is getting tough for Chiefs."

Fans say Chiefs must pay the price

Local football fans said on social media that if Chiefs wants a player, they should do all they can to pay the price.
