Kaizer Chiefs Told Why They Are Not Yet Ready for Continental Football

Kaizer Chiefs are one of the four teams representing the Premier Soccer League on the continent this season. The Glamour Boys, alongside Stellenbosch F,C are competing in the CAF Confederations Cup, while Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates are representing the country in the CAF Champions League.

The Soweto giants secure a place in the Confederations Cup this season after winning the Nedbank Cup last campaign, and they are through to the next preliminary round of the competition after defeating Angolan side Kabuscorp SCP.

Amakhosi depended on penalty shoot-outs to get a win over the Angolan club.

Why Chiefs are not ready

Sport journalist, Uche Anuma, during an exclusive chat with Briefly News, outlines what he saw when he watched Chief's clash with Kabuscorp.

“Kaizer Chiefs are still a work in progress. Competing in Africa requires depth, consistency, and a winning mentality, and right now, they’re not quite there yet.” he said.
