Fans criticise Ntwari

Amakhosi supporters reacted on social media to say Chiefs made a mistake by signing former TS Galaxy shot-stopper Ntwari and rectify the situation quickly.

Nqunde Keo made a suggestion:

"They must loan him."

Keorapetse Queenton Mongologa offered support:

"Good thing we tried to bring in someone; it failed. We move on. We won't get every move perfect; we thank the support Tim Sukazi gives to the club, unlike other teams. Thank you, Khosi."

Richard Pyungu is not impressed:

"He can go this one. He's not better than Bvuma, and he's an international player."

Jabu Khetheni says Chiefs have themselves to blame:

"Kaizer Chiefs must accept that not every good player in the PSL will be good in Chiefs' colours. It has been their downfall for signing every Tom and Jerry."
