Cape Town City social media trolls Kaizer Chiefs fans' Goal of the Month voting

Cape Town City's social media administrator was not particularly happy with the DStv Premiership Goal of the Month pick judging by a tweet sent from the club's Twitter account, Sports Brief reported.

Kaizer Chiefs' Nkosingiphile Ngcobo's super strike against Sekhukhune United won the fan vote for the month of December. City's entrant on the poll was Mpho Makola's superb free-kick against Moroka Swallows, which sealed a 2-1 win for the Citizens.

The Cape Town City admin triggered Kaizer Chiefs fans, the majority fanbase in South Africa, for their voting patterns after Chiefs' Nkosingiphile Ngcobo won the DStv Premiership Goal of the Month.
