- Amazulu owner Sandile Zungu's plans to take Kaizer Chiefs to court haven't gone down well with fans
- Amazulu are gathering evidence to prove that Kaizer Chiefs approached their player before they were allowed to do so
- Football fans think that Amazulu owner Sandile Zungu should calm down and focus attention elsewhere
Football fans have spoken out on Amazulu’s plans to pursue legal action against Kaizer Chiefs over their pursuit of Siyethemba Sithebe.
Kaizer Chiefs agreed on a deal to sign the player once his contract with Amazulu expires at the end of the month.
Once Sithebe agreed to join the Amakhosi, he was banned from playing for the club again by owner Sandile Zungu, a move that has caused tension at the club, Sowetan LIVE reported.
The way in which Chiefs approached the player angered Amazulu owner, Sandile Zungu, who is now gathering evidence to prove that Chiefs approached their player illegally, The South African reported.
Football fans have disagreed with the actions of Zungu, thinking that he needs to calm down and find some common ground with Chiefs to resolve the matter without legal action needed.

Kaizer Chiefs face another transfer ban, Amazulu pursues legal action against Amakhosi over Siyethemba Sithebe
Kaizer Chiefs already have one legal case already pending with the Premier Soccer League, and they soon could be in the middle of another legal battle with Amazulu and FIFA, Sports Brief earlier reported.
Kaizer Chiefs spent most of the January transfer window attempting to sign wantaway Amazulu midfielder, Siyethemba Sithebe, to the club. Sithebe has agreed to join the Amakhosi at the end of the season when his contract with the Usuthu ends.
According to the publication, Amazulu is gathering evidence to prove that Chiefs approached the player before they were legally allowed to do so. Sithebe entered the last six months of his contract with Amazulu and was therefore allowed to agree on terms with another team.
