1) ERIC MATHOHO

Mathoho is one of the last two standing Amakhosi legends alongside Itumeleng Khune.

Unfortunately, he has fallen out of favour with new head coach Zwane and rightfully so. Mathoho made several costly errors last season and he is nowhere near the player he once was. Well he will no doubt go down as a Chiefs legend and great, he is a shadow of his former self.

Zitha Kwinika and Njabulo Ngcobo are now the first-choice center-backs and Thabani Dube and Siyabonga Ngezana provide backup. Mathoho’s playing days at Chiefs are running out but he may be used in a technical or coaching capacity in the future. As things stand, he is still currently contracted to Chiefs.

Ngezana had a shocker against Mamelodi Sundowns, an absolute nightmare to say the least. Since then, he has fallen out of favour with Zwane and Dillon Sheppard while many Chiefs fans are calling for him to never play again.

His replacements have brought some much-needed calm at the back and they continue to grow with each game. Ngezana is talented and it is up to Zwane and Amakhosi’s management to give him another chance or to decide if that was the final straw. He initially struggled for game time and almost found himself out of Naturena last season. Therefore, his time at Naturena is no longer guaranteed.

3) HAPPY MASHIANE

Mashiane has hardly featured for Amakhosi since his red card in the CAF Champions League final against Pitso Mosimane’s Al Ahly.

He has since fallen out of favour with Chiefs coaches, Zwane, Sheppard and even during Stuart Baxter’s second tenure. Mashiane is still a Chiefs player but you wouldn’t be blamed for forgetting this given that he never plays anymore. If Mashiane is to continue his football dream he may need to find a new club and fast.
