KAIZER CHIEFS TRAVEL TO MARUMO GALLANTS

It’s been a while since we saw Amakhosi strut on the majestic Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg. The venue is where Gallants will be hosting Arthur Zwane‘s side on Sunday 11 September.

The Soweto giants, who are currently placed in 12th spot, will be searching for a third league victory after three defeats and a draw. Meanwhile, Gallants, who recently parted ways with coach Romain Folz have five draws and one defeat from six games.
