Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Humphrey Mlwane has voiced his disappointment with the club’s recent performances, expressing concern over their lack of progress. Mlwane, who once donned the Amakhosi jersey, remarked, “The results for Chiefs have been disappointing. I just don’t know what’s happening with the team, and all that I can say is that for us who love the team, we are disappointed.”
He refrained from attributing blame to specific individuals, stating, “I don’t want to single out anyone, whether the problem is with the coach or players; all of them are in this together, and it is disappointing what is happening.” Under the guidance of new coach Nasreddine Nabi, expectations were high for a turnaround. However, Mlwane observed, “We had a lot of expectations about the team to improve under the new coach, but judging by what we have seen so far and the results, it looks like we are in for a very long season.”
The former midfielder expressed empathy for the club’s supporters, noting, “I just feel sorry for Chiefs supporters because their team is so disappointing.” Despite the current challenges, he urged fans not to lose hope, suggesting that efforts might be underway behind the scenes to address the issues. However, he also cautioned against hasty decisions in the transfer market, expressing concern that the team might “end up signing 40 players trying to fix this problem to no avail.”
Kaizer Chiefs, a cornerstone of South African football, have faced scrutiny in recent times due to inconsistent performances and a lack of silverware. The appointment of Nabi was seen as a strategic move to restore the club’s former glory. However, the anticipated resurgence has yet to materialize, leading to growing frustration among the fan base and former players alike.
Mlwane’s comments reflect a broader sentiment of disappointment and concern surrounding the club’s current trajectory. As the season progresses, both supporters and analysts will be keenly observing whether Kaizer Chiefs can overcome these challenges and fulfill the high expectations set by their storied legacy.
