Motaung Senior is the founder of Kaizer Chiefs. In 2010, he bought back the 40 percent stake he sold to Primedia one year earlier.

GOAL reports that Amakhosi sold 35 per cent of their shares to Mike Nkuna, who was rumoured to be keen on acquiring more shares to become the majority shareholder.

The club have now gone nine seasons without silverware, and the priority now is finding a manager to replace Molefi Ntseki, who was fired last year.

Cavin Johnson temporarily took charge of the team, and the squad struggled during the campaign, crashing out of the Nedbank Cup and finishing the DStv Premiership in 10th position.

A mass exodus also looms at the club, as at least eight players are expected to leave this summer while fresh legs are signed.

However, the club's boss seemed to be enjoying himself on the flanks as he juggled the ball to the delight of fans.
