According to KickOff, Motaung said the club are on the right track and has backed their new signings to make an impact at the club.
Motaung said:
“It’s a journey, we are not there yet, but we are cooking. It is a process and a journey; give it patience and time. Building a winning team is not an overnight success and the league is not over yet. It’s early days but the reason we signed them [new signings] is because they are the quality that we wanted. Their experience and quality can help the young boys in the team.”
Lilepo won the Man-of-the-Match award in their last match, according to the tweet below:
Chiefs are cooking under Nabi
Following Nabi’s arrival at the start of the season, Chiefs have added several new faces to their squad as the Soweto giants aim to end their decade-long trophy drought.
One of the January signings, Thabo Cele said he is living his dream by joining the Soweto giants while fellow new arrival Glody Lilepo has produced a man-of-the-match performance.
Nabi’s impact at Chiefs has not only caught the attention of Motaung but also the Tunisian national team who reportedly offered the former FAR Rabat coach a job.

Fans say Chiefs still have something to fight for
Football fans reacted on social media, by saying Chiefs might be out of the PSL title race but can still achieve a high finish at the end of the 2024/2025 season
Gatsheni Mandla Brighton says Chiefs are dreaming:
“If we as Pirates in second position and nine points behind Sundowns with a game in hand have been told it's over and that the league is gone then how on Earth are Chiefs in the title race?”
Christian S Mkhize is not a fan:
“Anything said by this guy in football matters cannot be taken seriously.”
Darlington Maila said Motaung is putting pressure on Nabi:
“Let's be realistic here. Yes, the league is not over yet but Kaizer Chiefs are not title contenders. Mr Bobby needs to chill a bit; he is putting pressure on Nabi unnecessarily.”
JP Madira backs Motaung’s word:
“We will fight till the end.”
Bibie Bertha Msimang backs Chiefs to finish high:
“He can fight for number three to play CAF.”
