According to Soccer Laduma, Khune was impressed by Chipezeze, while the Magesi star said he is happy at the club despite transfer rumours.

Khune said:

“To win four Man of the Match Awards in a row is not child’s play. I once did three and thought it was not possible. I just want to say that he must keep up the good work and win the Goalkeeper of the Season Award.”

Local football fans agreed with Khune on social media, while others said Khune should return to Chiefs.

Zama Jomo is pessimistic:

“This Magesi will go back to the Motsepe League.”

Wandile Solid-Wax Mavimbela made a suggestion:

“Chiefs must buy Chipezeze.”

Naledi Kay says Khune must come back:

“This guy is still a need for Kaizer Chiefs. Those three goalkeepers we have are not convincing.”
