Is Kaizer Chiefs‘ beloved star Nkosingiphile Ngcobo unfit? Coach Cavin Johnson does not believe so.

KAIZER CHIEFS DRAW 0-0 WITH MOROKA SWALLOWS

It’s not a good 2024 for Amakhosi. The Soweto giants marked four games without a win on Saturday.

One of the supporters’ favoured players, Ngcobo, made his 10th straight appearance under coach Johnson.

IS HE UNFIT?

Meanwhile, sections of the Chiefs supporters and the media have been suspicious of Ngcobo’s weight.

“Nope, I don’t think Mshini is overweight, I think he’s fine,” Johnson said via iDiskiTimes.

“He might look overweight but I can tell you we have people who’re looking at all these things and none of these players are overweight.

“We have one of the best fitness centres in the country, best fitness measures in the country and when you do those things everything comes out perfect,” the Chiefs mentor added.

“If I’m telling you you look fat, but you’re not fat, you look normal, you understand what I’m saying.

“Who are we as outside people to decide whether a person is fat or not. Do I look fat or overweight?” Johnson concluded.

Meanwhile, Ngcobo is expected to make another appearance on Tuesday. Chiefs host Golden Arrows at the FNB Stadium at 19:30.
