Bafana legend questions ambition of Pirates, Chiefs in transfer window

Although there weren’t an array of blockbuster movements during this period, it was runaway DStv Premiership leaders Mamelodi Sundowns who swooped for two notable signings: Surprise Ralani and Teboho Mokoena. Meanwhile, it was a very quiet window for Pirates, who announced no new signings, while Kaizer Chiefs only really emerged late on Monday to say that they had “extended the contracts of seven of the club’s most promising players”.

Modise, formerly a long-serving player at Sundowns and Pirates, was present at the launch of the new Sundowns Series, and was asked by iDiskiTV why Amakhosi and the Buccaneers are allowing their main competitor Sundowns to open such a huge competitive gap.

“Maybe chances are they don’t want to compete. Also Sundowns have been dominant for the past 10 years.

“For them [Chiefs and Pirates] to start their own dominance they need to start somewhere. They need to sign their own players.”
