Kaizer Chiefs Players Praised As Amakhosi Supporters Were Urged to Be Patient

• Kaizer Chiefs players have been applauded after the club's recent standout displays in the Betway Premiership
• The Soweto giants ended their losing run in the league to secure consecutive wins against Durban City and Magesi FC
• The Glamour Boys supporters have also been advised to be patient, as progress is visible in the team

Kaizer Chiefs players have earned praise from one of the club's former players after their recent standout performances in the Betway Premiership.

After enduring four consecutive losses in the league, the Glamour Boys secured victories against Durban City and Magesi FC, reigniting their hopes of qualifying for next season’s CAF Confederation Cup.

It has not been a good second half of the season for Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef as they were close to losing their jobs, but recent wins gave them another extended period to end well in the Premier Soccer League standings and secure a continental football ticket for the next campaign.

Vukubi hails Kaizer Chiefs' players

Former Kaizer Chiefs forward Denis Vukubi has praised the squad for a notable shift in mindset, which he believes has been key to their improved performances in the last two matches.

Vukubi is encouraged by the team’s turnaround and feels the players now understand that at this stage of the campaign, consistent results matter more than style of play.

“I think the players have accepted that even without a permanent coach, the work must go on, and they are expected to perform regardless,” Vukubi told KickOff.

“The coaches have begun giving opportunities to the younger players, which is a positive sign. You can sense a psychological shift, and that’s very encouraging.

“Mental preparedness has been solid over the last two games. Take Glody Lilepo from the DRC, for example—he’s been putting in a lot of effort. What’s changed at Chiefs is the mindset. Playing beautiful football isn’t the priority anymore; getting results is. This is a big club, so even a draw should be considered a minimal acceptable outcome.”

Fans encouraged to exercise patience

Despite criticism over inconsistent performances this season, Vukubi believes the team is moving in the right direction and went on to urge the Amakhosi fans to exercise patience with the team.

“We need to return to our core style, attacking through the wings, and rely on midfielders capable of splitting defences,” he added.

“From an ex-player’s perspective, progress is visible. Something is building here—we just need patience, especially from the supporters.”

Kaizer Chiefs have a chance to extend their winning streak in the Betway Premiership to three if they defeat Orbit College at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Monday, April 6, 2026.
