KAIZER CHIEFS WELCOME BACK SIFISO HLANTI

Following a ninth-month absence after an Achilles tendon rupture, the 32-year-old from Durban was back on the green grass against Stellenbosch FC in August. What followed has been remarkable.

The former Chippa United, Golden Arrows, AmaZulu, and Bidvest Star has defied the fitness recovery protocol.

A ninth-month absence is often managed with a gradual re-introduction of 45 and 60-minute sessions on the pitch.

Instead, Hlanti has gone straight into a streak of full eight games on the bounce. The Chiefs number three has delivered 738 minutes without interruption. 

Meanwhile, Hlanti is expected to be in the starting lineup as Chiefs welcome TS Galaxy to Soccer City on Wednesday. Is he actually Shaka Zulu disguised at Sifiso Hlanti?

In other discussions on Chiefs, we’ve found the weak area in Arthur Zwane’s team.

With Chiefs having beefed up in defence, midfield, and the frontline before the start of the season, the defence and midfield have not been too shabby.

The likes of Zitha Kwinika and Edmilson Dove have been a breath of fresh air and quality. The same can be said of Yusuf Maart in the middle of the pitch. Read the full story here.
