Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Lebohang Maboe has opened up on struggling for playing time since joining the team.
The 31-year-old joined Amakhosi on a free transfer after parting ways with Mamelodi Sundowns at the end of last season.

Injuries sidelined Maboe for much of the early campaign, causing him to miss numerous matches in all competitions.
Although he is now fully fit, breaking into the team has remained difficult, and he has managed just two appearances so far — one in the Betway Premiership and another in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Prior to those outings, he was an unused substitute on two occasions.
“I’m settling in very, very well, I know my chance will come,” said Maboe.
“The players that have been playing, my teammates are doing very well. And I know myself; I trust my abilities.
“It’s just a matter of time [before I play]. Definitely my chance will come too. For me, I have to support the players that are playing, clap for others while I’m still waiting for my chance as well.”
Maboe will be hoping to feature when Chiefs take on Zamalek in the Confederation Cup group clash on Saturday, 29 November at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium.
