After beating Kaizer Chiefs 2-0 on Sunday, 8 December 2024, Polokwane City coach Phuti Mohafe took an apparent dig at the Soweto rivals.

The Polokwane coach said Chiefs and PSL champions Mamelodi Sundowns are not the biggest clubs in Mzansi after naming TS Galaxy as a stronger side.

Mohafe's side earned the victory after goals from Chiefs target Oswin Appollis and Mokibelo Ramabu, which also saw them climb to third in the PSL.

Phuti Mohafe is proud of Polokwane City

According to iDiski Times, Mohafe was proud of its results against Sundowns, Chiefs, and Galaxy, saying the side has followed a master plan.

Mohafe said:

"Galaxy is a strong team, stronger than Chiefs and Sundowns, according to me. They are a very difficult team to beat. These three matches mirror what we are doing as the technical team of Polokwane City."

Local fans question Mohafe

Local football fans shared scepticism about Mohafe on social media, saying his side spent most of the match against Chiefs on the backfoot.

Foster Foster says Polokwane thrives against bigger teams:

"Polokwane and Galaxy both get motivated when playing against big teams."

Kgabo Ronnie Waga Khwinana has doubts:

"Some coaches are not normal upstairs."

Victor Masemene says Mohafe was worried:

"It is easy to talk when the game is finished, but I don't think he was saying the same thing when the game was on because they were on the back foot and under so much pressure."
