“No, we are not disappointed (about not signing Kodisang).” Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane told members of the media.
“I think we have assembled a very good squad. “We’ve got balance. We’ve still got Mahlatsi, we still have Sekgota.
“We have many players if we want to change the formation, to play with wingers.
“If we want to play with wing-backs, we still have players who can give us that power on the right and left flanks. I think we have balance.”
