iDiski TV analyst Junior Khanye is not convinced that Kaizer Chiefs will claim silverware in the upcoming 2026/27 campaign.
Khanye’s comments follow Chiefs’ last preparatory game ahead of the Betway Premiership campaign where they defeated Zimbabwean Premier League champions Scottland FC 1-0 to lift the Toyota Cup in Rustenburg on Sunday.
This match was preceded by the pre-season tour of Spain where Chiefs drew two matches and lost one. Amakhosi will compete on all fronts domestically and also in the CAF Confederation Cup next season.
The former winger says his prediction is also based on the club’s transfer window activities saying they have not prioritised areas they lack in.
“For me I can’t say they will win one trophy,” said Khanye on iDiski TV.
“We have to be realistic and not let love blind us. It’s like when you love a t-shirt and realise its colour is wearing off if I don’t have other clothes, I have to just continue wearing it. But if I have options…
“Chiefs have the resources they can buy players that’s my point. They should go to the market and bring in players. They should structure their development in order to avoid signing a lot of players in the future, like what [Orlando] Pirates did with the likes of Rele [Relebohile Mofokeng] and [Mbekezeli] Mbokazi and [Mohau] Nkotha.
“Yes, you need luck in football, but it must meet you halfway. Look at [Mamelodi] Sundowns they dominated for eight years locally and finally won a star last season. Pirates have been consistent in playing good football and finally they won the league. That’s my point. If you don’t have quality and you want miracles from the coach, it’s a mountain to climb because a coach can’t coach and play.
“Chiefs still has a lot of work to do. Well done to them for winning the Toyota Cup but if they want to win a trophy, they must stop the Cut and Paste. Chiefs is a big club, and they know it too and they can win nice things if they can do things right.”
