Chiefs are kissing many frogs but when will they find their prince?
Since Stuart Baxter won Amakhosi’s last piece of silverware in 2015, the club has made 11 separate appointments. Steve Komphela, Patrick Mabedi, Giovanni Solinas, Ernst Middendorp, Gavin Hunt, Arthur Zwane, a return for Baxter, a return for Zwane, Molefi Ntseki, Cavin Johnson and now Nasreddine Nabi have all been at the helm. None have delivered league title success to the demanding fans at Naturena.

When will Duba return?
According to Soccer-Laduma, 20-year-old Wandile Duba’s injury sustained against Free Agents FC on 28 Jan would keep him out of action for six weeks. In theory, he could return in mid-March.
