‘I'm very sad with the way things are’: Siphiwe Tshabalala on the state of Kaizer Chiefs

Siphiwe Tshabalala has expressed sadness at the continuing struggles of his beloved Kaizer Chiefs, who have not laid their hands on any major silverware in about eight years. 

Tshabalala, who was still part of the team during some of those years when Amakhosi failed to win a trophy, said he understands the challenges because the team is going through a transition. 

Tshabalala, who won two league championships (2012-13 and 2014—15), a Telkom Knockout and a MTN8 trophy at Naturena, said coach Arthur Zwane must be given a chance to revive the club. 

“I am very sad with the way things are, but equally understanding that transition is difficult,” said the 38-year-old former Bafana Bafana star — while also insisting he has not yet retired from football.
