Kaizer Chiefs top five salary earners list is an absolute joke
There’s a silver lining here somewhere, surely?

Kaizer Chiefs management needs to take a long, hard look at their wage bill because it needs fixing.
KAIZER CHIEFS FIVE BEST MONTHLY SALARIES
- Keagan Dolly – R1,4 Million
- Itumeleng Khune – R480,000
- Zitha Kwinika – R370,000
- Ashley du Preez – R300,000
- Yusuf Maart – R300,000
Dolly and Khune don’t even play
It’s easy to envisage a situation where Khune and Dolly are no longer Chiefs players next season. That illustrates a level of money mismanagement by the club and reveals an opportunity for them to considerably trim the wage bill, as neither player has been an integral part of the starting XI for the last two campaigns.
Bit-part players shouldn’t be earning the most money
Kwinika won’t get a lot of game time once Thatayaone Ditlhokwe returns from injury to continue his partnership alongside Given Msimango in the heart of defence. That, presuming Chiefs upgrade in the right-back position as they’re not keen on Reeve Frosler or Dillan Solomons. Why would Chiefs’ top three best-earning players be guys who either won’t be at the club next season or fringe stars? The one silver lining here is that Amakhosi can considerably cut their costs by losing Khune and Dolly for the 2023-24 campaign.
Dolly is done
Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs must wait longer for Keagan Dolly to return from injury. The former Montpellier and Sundowns man fractured a toe and is in danger of missing the remainder of the campaign. He has played just EIGHT times across all competitions this season, including seven in the league with a solitary assist. Is that good enough for a player boasting his calibre, experience and salary?
