Kaizer Chiefs Managing Director Bobby Motaung has scoffed at suggestions that Kaizer Chiefs is targeting free players in Zimbabwe after the club announced the signing of Edmore Chirambadare and Mitchell Katsvairo from Chicken Inn.The duo were part of 8 new signings paraded by Chiefs on Monday.  

Speaking to KickOff.com, Motaung accepted that Zimbabwe produces a lot of talented players and pointed to players like Willard Katsande and Knowledge Musona as a means of downplaying the joke.

“If I go to Zim there is nothing for mahala and the good thing about Zim is that since we have gone there, give me any flop that we have signed from Zim and that has been a flop, flop, flop,” he says.

“Sometimes we don’t disclose figures because both clubs will have agreed for certain reasons not to disclose the price, but we buy. We spend millions, there is nothing for mahala … the only player that we sold in South Africa or in Africa of late was Musona.

“When I brought him here they said ‘buy one, get two free’, yet when we sold him to Germany people were angry. Look at the national team of Zimbabwe; they are the only ones that have qualified for the AFCON in this region, all of us are out.
