The much-criticised Maart, who was in attendance when the group was inducted on Wednesday, 20 November 2024, said the club legends inspire the current squad.
Yusuf Maart admires club legends
Chiefs celebrated their legends in the tweet below:
According to the Chiefs website, Maart said he and his current teammates must strive to be recognised as legends in the future.
Maart said:
"This should serve as an inspiration to the current generation of players. Players should not think they've made it when they arrive at Chiefs. In fact, that's when the hard work should begin."
The induction of the legends served as a morale booster for Chiefs, who the PSL has fined six times since August 2023
Fans praised Chiefs legends
Local football fans praised the local legends, while some questioned why fellow Mzansi legends were excluded from the hall of fame.
Navegate Praise Chauke said one of the legends must take up a new role:
"Let them move to SAFA Headquarters now. Dr Danny Jordan has done well, but I think he should leave before embarrassing himself."
Bafana Mhlanga made a suggestion:
"Benni McCarthy deserves to be there, too."
Mzwela Mzwela asked a question:
"What about Doctor Khumalo and Benni?"
Gear Chronicle is happy:
"Happy to see all legends in the game being appreciated."
John Walland praised the legends:
"Congratulations."
