Kaizer Chiefs legendary captain hits back at abusive fans!

Kaizer Chiefs fans have been through a lot during recent years.

Not only have they struggled to win against ‘smaller’ teams, but they’ve been losing against ‘themselves’ far too often this season.

Chiefs have dropped crucial points due to costly individual errors, some by experienced players like Itumeleng Khune.

Khune has since opened up on the ‘abuse’ he and his teammates have been receiving by fans due to their mistakes on the field of play.
