Handed another start, Mmodi failed to shine as Amakhosi suffered a surprise 1-0 loss to Angolan Girabola side Kabuscorp SCP on Saturday, September 20, 2025.
Kaizer Chiefs qualified for the preliminary rounds of the continental competition by winning the Nedbank Cup last season, which was their first title in ten years.
The Soweto giants didn’t have Nasreddine Nabi on the sidelines as the Tunisian tactician is considering leaving the club this summer after just 13 months in charge.

Khanye calls out Pule Mmodi
Khanye, while reacting to Kaizer Chiefs' defeat against the Angolan side, singled out a player and explained the issues he has with him.
The ex-Chiefs winger was blunt in his assessment, insisting that Mmodi offers nothing to the team.

“When you, as a coach, check that you’ve lost 3-1, you play Mmodi, who didn’t give us anything,” he said.
“Nabi used to play this guy about 10 games in a row. What does he offer? Nothing! Box entry, no shot entry. Negative. Always the one who has to track back. I’m not too sure.”
Khanye has mostly been on the wrong side of fans with his analysis, but on this particular issue with Mmodi, he had the backing of most netizens, who agreed with him on social media.
Zach Dangote wrote:
"Mmodi and mdu are no longer effective yet they get starting berth….lucky players."
Brian Wolfe said:
"Pule & Sirono are out of form and don't deserve to be in the starting line up. Cele & Mthethwa must not play together they play the same style of football, one must start and one benched."
Samuel_Samedo Masango🇿🇦✌️ implied:
"For the first time in my life I agreed with Junior, I had been complaining about this guy that he is getting minutes while he does nothing, there are people like Villa who can do way much better than him."
LluTladi commented:
"I've been talking about how Mmodi useless is for quite some time. The guy has delivered nothing, no killer passes,no shot on target. He is good on losing the ball and making back passes."
Ten Ten Mvelase reacted:
"Yaz sometimes before you criticises a player you must ask yourself some deep question🤞.Modi he only need a striker who knows how to position himself at chiefs we still need that type of a striker .A winger once he passed two defenders you must know now he need an assist."
Simpra Bathembu shared:
"Yhoo junior in I'm with here pule keep the ball to much and up loosing it , if can be one or two touch player that we will his impact in the game until then I don't see it at all."
Harrifa added:
"I don't agree with Junior Khanye, but this he's is 100% spot on .....Pule Mmodi offers nothing to Kaizer Chiefs. Hopefully, they can sort Velebayi legal issues out."
