Kaizer Chiefs hijack Pirates’ move for Khanyi?

25-year-old Muzomuhle Khanyi has been causing a stir in the NFD, scoring goals for fun.

It’s early days yet, but the club expects big things from the youngster whose crisp distribution over short and long distances is a valuable and rare asset from the left side of central defence. Also, they see him as a natural leader.
