Royal AM CEO Sinky Mnisi issued a hilarious warning to Kaizer Chiefs though saying that they would need to pay the asking price for the player if they wanted to sign him.

According to The South African, Mnisi described Letsoalo as a Rolls Royce who wouldn't be sold for the price of a Mazda 323.

“Don’t come and say you want a Rolls-Royce, but you want to pay money Mazda 323 is worth, it doesn’t work like that. If you feel that boy is a Rolls-Royce, pay the money and take the player, that’s all," he said.

Victor Letsoalo has scored nine goals in 15 games in the DStv Premiership this season, iDiski Times confirmed.

Fans took to Twitter to comment on Mnisi's hilarious message and join in on the joke.

"But something doesn't add up here. Sinky Mnisi says he heard from agent dt we were interested in Letsoalo, in the same vein he says we must pay the Rolls-Royce money not Mazda . How does he know we offer Mazda 323 money for Letsoalo?"

@Mthunzi_Lukhele:

"He's just an average player this one..Dear Bobby, don't bother if we really need him, June is just in 5 months nje.. we will get him for free..Let them keep their Rolls-Roys we will really get it for a black ink and a R2.00 pen.."

@NtokozoNtando7:

"He is not even worth an UNO price. Too much overrated."

Kaizer Chiefs' case heads to arbitration, South African Football Association to rule on Amakhosi's issue

Kaizer Chiefs' legal battle with the Premier Soccer League (PSL) could be resolved today as the South Africa Football Association (SAFA) will hear Chiefs' arbitration case, Sports Brief earlier reported.

Kaizer Chiefs were charged by the PSL for failing to honour two fixtures in 2021 but the club blamed Covid19 for the issue, saying that they could not field a team. The Amakhosi appealed the matter but the PSL's Disciplinary Committee denied the application.

As a result, Kaizer Chiefs went one further and took the matter to SAFA, The South African confirmed. The Sowetan giants hired a top legal team to fight the issue and their arbitration case will be heard today.
