The Soweto giants endured a poor run of form that saw them being knocked out of the Nedbank Cup, the CAF Confederation Cup, and the Carling Knockout Cup. They also struggled to win games in the Betway Premiership, losing to city rivals Orlando Pirates in the first Soweto Derby this season.

Kaze on his future at Kaizer Chiefs

Following their 2-0 victory over TS Galaxy last weekend, Kaze was asked whether he would be interested in continuing his stay at the club.

He admitted that maintaining consistency has been a recurring issue, dating back to the period when Nasreddine Nabi was still at the helm.

While he avoided giving a direct answer about his long-term future, Kaze stressed that his priority remains to contribute to the club and finish the season strongly.

“We are here to serve the club,” Kaze explained. “Consistency has been something we’ve struggled with. Even last season, we could manage one or two wins, but putting together longer winning runs was difficult.”

Kaze comments on Chiefs' improvement

Kaze went on to add that the Kaizer Chiefs coaching staff are constantly pushing for improvement in training, urging players to remain driven and make the most of every session.
