Kaizer Chiefs interim manager, Cavin Johnson, seems impressed with the role Zitha Kwinika is playing for the club this season.

The defender has helped the club achieve seven clean sheets in eight matches in one of the brightest displays of a tough season for the club.

Club supporters have expressed concerns that attack-minded right-backs like Solomons and Frosler have not been making the starting lineup.

Amakhosi have only managed to score one goal in their last four matches since football action returned after the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Johnson explained why Kwinika has been starting more games in recent times. In a chat with some journalists, the interim manager said, as per iDiski Times:

“There’s nothing wrong with Reeve and there’s nothing wrong with Dillon, but Zitha has always given me the backup, even though he’s a center-back.
“You probably know that. He gives me backup as a right-back as well, sometimes you have to play with God hey.
“Reeve had a slight knock, not really something to take him out but we put caution to the wind as far as that position is concerned and the last two games Zitha has done really well, we haven’t had any major crosses from the right, no major player skinned him."

Kaizer Chiefs sign Kamogelo Malefo

Sports Brief earlier reported that Kaizer Chiefs have improved their squad in the attack with the signing of a promising young talent, Kamogelo Malefo.

His arrival has raised hopes among fans as they have struggled in the attack for some time now.

The 18-year-old has officially joined Amakhosi from the unknown Tika Taka Sports Academy as he is billed to impact the future at the club.
