Ahead of his maiden Soweto derby as a Kaizer Chiefs player, the in-form Keagan Dolly has reminisced about how he always wanted to feature in this titanic encounter as a young Amakhosi fan.
Dolly is odds-on to start for Chiefs when they welcome their Soweto foes Orlando Pirates at FNB Stadium tomorrow . The 28-year-old ace has been in fantastic form since joining Chiefs as a free agent before the start of the season, after his contract with French club Montpellier wasn’t renewed.
“The derby will always be one of the biggest games in Africa. Growing up, I supported Chiefs. I had a privilege to go to the stadium when I was six or seven years old, with my dad. I was able to watch a few of derbies as a kid, watching players like Jabu Pule [now Mahlangu] in a packed stadium,’’ Dolly said.
