‘I told Kaizer Chiefs I’m not going back to school, I promoted myself’ says Khanye

Kaizer Chiefs’ former winger Junior Khanye has relived the moment he became an Amakhosi first-team player.

The Daveyton-born former player said ‘he refused to go back to school.’

According to the legend, Khanye proved himself after two of the club’s retired legends Donald Khune and Doctor Khumalo put on boots for Khanye to test himself against them – and at the tender age of 17.

“That was my test game before I got promoted in that game brother,” Khanye told iDiskiTimes’ David Kappel in a recent interview.

“I’ll be honest with you, I promoted myself, Chiefs didn’t want to promote me.

“I told them I’m not going back to school anymore, and then they put me on the bus trip. At first, it wasn’t because it was first-team players,” Khanye added.

“The only other player who was there was Ntokozo Sikhakhane and they wanted to promote him because he was recommended by Farouk [Khan – former header of development and assistant coach to Ted Dumitru]. And Farouk also recommended me there.

“But playing with Doctor and Ace was something else bra. It was not long after they finished their careers in professional football,” the former winger concluded.

TOP TALENT: CHIEFS LINKED WITH THESE FOUR MIDFIELDERS

Meanwhile, the clubs’ central midfield needs attention, as urgent as the July-August 2022 transfer window.

Why? Phathutshedzo Nange is yet to sparkle, Anthony Akumu seems like the pace of the PSL is just beyond him, while the jury is still out regarding Cole Alexander.

The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team.
