Kaizer Chiefs chairman Kaizer Motaung Snr says the concept of a ‘friendly’ between Amakhosi and Orlando Pirates doesn’t exist.
Chiefs legends will tackle Pirates legends on Saturday on the Pumas Rugby Stadium in Emalahleni (kick off 3pm), and the joy across the clash may be seen in the truth that tickets for the match are offered out.
“I thank the organisers for setting up these games and it is important for our legends to be active and continue to feature for the team,” mentioned Motaung Snr in line with the Chiefs official website.
“A game between Chiefs and Pirates is never a friendly and is also a good sporting spectacle for the fans and those involved.”
Chiefs’ advertising and marketing and industrial director Jessica Motaung added that enjoying in Emalahleni helps an concept of enjoying these video games at venues the place the Chiefs first crew don’t play.
“In recent months our legends have played games in towns where the first team do not feature. We are pleased to be able to connect with fans in different towns and would like to show our appreciation to the organizers for taking us to Emalahleni, a place where we have not played for a while,” mentioned Jessica Motaung.
The Chiefs legends squad contains stars of the previous like Brian Baloyi, Jabu Mahlangu (previously Pule), Siphiwe Tshabalala and Siyabonga Nomvethe.
“We won against them a few months ago in Malamulele and we will try to defeat our Pirates counterparts again. We have a strong team, and we have some new inclusions,” mentioned Chiefs legends co-coach Thabo Mooki, himself a former star of the Amakhosi midfield.
“We are happy to always get the guys together and play these games. We will be looking to give our fans in Emalahleni a good memorable game.”
