Former Kaizer Chiefs dribbling wizard Junior Khanye believes Lesedi Kapinga must join Orlando Pirates.

Despite being an Amakhosi fan at heart, Khanye believes the discarded Mamelodi Sundowns man should join rivals Orlando Pirates.

While admitting he’d love for Kapinga to don the Amakhosi jersey, Khanye believes Orlando Pirates need the services of the talented midfielder more than the Amakhosi.

Pirates are gearing up for big season ahead which will include CAF Champions League football, and they’ll need Kapinga on the continent according to Khanye.

Why Kapinga must join Pirates and NOT Kaizer Chiefs – Khanye

“I’d like for it to be Kaizer Chiefs that signs him, I’ve been emphasising that but Pirates are going to play in Africa and they need depth and quality not just an ordinary player.” – Khanye said as quoted by IdiskiTimes.

“What has been outstanding, a key component is the standards you know. When I say cut above the rest, that’s what I associate Kaizer Chiefs with.” Msimango said as quoted by Citizen.

“Not only the badge but the way they do things, the way they run things on and off the pitch, down from your health, your diet, to your performance on the pitch.

“You know the detail that they focus on, sprint distances, top speed, all those small details that contribute to a person’s performance, they focus on.”
