The aristocrats of South African football. The one built on the riches of the Kaizer Motaung family dynasty, while the other is all new Patrice Motsepe money. KaizerChiefs Sundowns By ZaahierAdams IOLSport
And it is they who now set the standards with Tlhopie putting together a “dynamic collaboration” with Jay-Z owned American sports and entertainment agency Roc Nation that will focus on “brand amplification, social media strategy and execution, commercial sales and football consultation regarding transfers and the global football market”.
Chiefs, in contrast, have only just emerged from a traumatic domestic season that was ruptured with the Amakhosi faithful marching to the doors of Naturena demanding better from their team, which ultimately led to the departure of coach Gavin Hunt.The Chiefs-Hunt relationship was doomed from the outset particularly due to the Fifa-imposed transfer ban the club was still serving during his time with Amakhosi.
In came Cole Alexander, Phathutshedzo Nange, Kgaogelo Sekgota, Sifiso Hlanti, Sibusiso Mabiliso, Thabani Dube, Njabulo Ngcobo, Brandon Petersen and Given Thibedi, but it was the marquee signing of Keagan Dolly from League 1 side Montpellier that genuinely signified Chiefs’ intent to topple Sundowns from their perch this season.
Through his movement, understanding of angles and beautifully precise passes, Dolly raised Chiefs to a level where they were playing the type of champagne football that was prominent during the days when Doctor Khumalo, Ace Khuse and the late John “Shoes” Moshoeu were pulling the strings in the heart of Amakhosi’s midfield.
