KAIZER CHIEFS COACHES AND STAFF WORK AS BALL BOYS

After the controversial expulsion of two reserve team players who refused to work as ball boys last month, Chiefs’ DStv Premiership game against Cape Town Spurs raised eyebrows.

“INTERESTING!!! Kaizer Chiefs development coaches and support staff are being used as ball boys in the Cape Town Spurs game,” FARPost’s Mthokozisi Dube confirmed from the stadium via X.

Meanwhile, Chiefs have revealed that the coaches offered the service while the young lads are given time off to focus on end-of-year examinations.

“Special thanks to the KCYDA Coaches for volunteering to work as Ball Retrievers at last night’s game while some of the Development Players were studying for their exams,” the club said via social media this morning.
