CAF boss Patrice Motsepe has reiterated how vital Kaizer Chiefs are to the development of South African football.
CAF president Patrice Motsepe has spoken about the importance of Kaizer Chiefs to South African football.
Chiefs have been struggling, especially in the last 10 years, with no league title over that period, but they remain the most popular club in the country and one of Africa’s top sides.
This is down to their huge following, history and the number of top players who turned out for them, while they continue to be a huge draw for sponsors.

South African giants Kaizer Chiefs opted to have Nasreddine Nabi’s assistant replace him instead of bringing in a new coach but what informed this decision?
Observers have maintained that South African football needs a strong Chiefs and by extension their bitter rivals Orlando Pirates as the rest feeds off them and Motsepe is among those who share that thought.
Why is Patrice Motsepe Keen on a Successful Chiefs?
“You cannot develop football in South Africa without Kaizer Chiefs,” Motsepe said in South Africa on Friday.
This is not the first time Motsepe has spoken about the importance of Chiefs as he lauded Amakhosi for their return to continental football in April, saying he was happy to see them back as they hold the key to South African football.

The Amakhosi will face ongoing struggles as leadership and player quality issues threaten stability, leaving fans anxious about the future.
“I am happy Kaizer Chiefs is back in the Confederation Cup because if you grew up the way I grew up, you cannot talk about development in South African football without a successful Kaizer Chiefs,” he said in April.
CAF Boss Backs South African Football Massively
Motsepe wears various hats in football as while he is the CAF boss, he is also the owner of Mamelodi Sundowns, a club that has dominated South African football in the last decade, while he also sponsors a number of football initiatives such as the country’s women’s league as well as the second tier, which is known as Motsepe Foundation Championship.
In South Africa, matches involving Chiefs and Pirates draw a large number of fans while rival clubs look forward to the day they host either of the two Soweto giants to collect more from matchday revenue.
