Football fans love a good rivalry, and when it comes to Kaizer Chiefs, one name that still stirs memories is Judas Moseamedi.
The striker, once known for being a constant thorn in Amakhosi’s side, has suddenly resurfaced in football conversations—and for good reason.
The Season That Made His Name
Moseamedi’s most memorable run came in the 2019/20 DStv Premiership season, where he scored seven goals across all competitions.
While that tally may not sound extraordinary, what made him unforgettable was the timing of those goals.
He repeatedly punished Chiefs, derailing their title hopes and ensuring they fell short of glory.
One standout moment was in the Nedbank Cup clash at Mbombela, where he scored twice and earned the Man of the Match award.
Chiefs fans haven’t forgotten that game—and probably never will.
Fans Call for History to Repeat Itself
Now that Chiefs are off to another strong start and looking like genuine contenders, rival supporters from Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns are jokingly calling for Moseamedi to step in and “do the damage” again.
For many, he became the ultimate “Chiefs specialist,” the man who thrived only when facing them.
One fan on social media summed it up perfectly:
-
“He would only slay Chiefs and disappear and then resurface when it’s Chiefs again.”
Another added:
-
“This guy used to finish a season with around 4 goals. 3 of them against Chiefs.”
Can He Still Hurt Chiefs?
That’s where the fairytale starts to fade. Moseamedi, now 31 years old, hasn’t been part of the PSL for over two years.
Since leaving Maritzburg United in 2021, he’s bounced between teams, including Stellenbosch, Marumo Gallants, a short stint in Tunisia with EGS Gafsa, and most recently Venda FC.
He became a free agent in July this year.
With no current club and a lengthy gap away from top-flight football, it seems unlikely that he’ll ever recreate the havoc he once caused against Amakhosi.
Chiefs Looking Ahead
Still, the memories linger. For Chiefs fans, the mere mention of Moseamedi sparks frustration, while for rival fans, it’s pure banter material.
But the bigger question remains—can Chiefs finally go all the way this season without anyone like Moseamedi derailing their run?
That’s the storyline to watch as the campaign unfolds.
