Doctor Khumalo’s Concerns
Doctor Khumalo, a legendary figure at Kaizer Chiefs, expresses deep concern about the lack of ambition and drive within the current crop of players.
Despite Sundowns’ dominance in winning the Premiership for the sixth consecutive time, Khumalo believes that this season may mark another win for Sundowns, with only Cape Town City seeming capable of applying pressure.
However, the chances of Kaizer Chiefs ending their title drought seem bleak.
Frustration and the Need for Competition
Khumalo finds the unfolding of yet another season in a predictable fashion deeply frustrating.
He highlights the necessity for other teams and top talents to step up their game to compete effectively with Sundowns.
In a recent article in Soccer Laduma, Khumalo underlines the disheartening experience of watching opponents claim awards, both individual and team accolades, while sitting at home watching the events unfold on television.
The Call for Challenge
He issues a call to action, expressing hope for someone to step up and challenge Sundowns in the upcoming seasons.
Khumalo emphasizes the importance of increased competition, believing it will not only make the sport more engaging but also attract greater interest and enthusiasm from fans and stakeholders alike.
Kaizer Chiefs’ Current Status
Kaizer Chiefs, the only active PSL club besides Sundowns to secure the Premiership in the last nine years, last clinched the title in 2015.
Despite Bidvest Wits’ 2017 triumph, the club ceased operations in 2020 after selling its franchise.
Sundowns’ remarkable dominance stands at 13 Premiership wins, significantly surpassing the Soweto Giants’ tally of four PSL trophies each.
The Unstoppable Sundowns
Sundowns’ recent years have seen them achieve remarkable dominance, securing the last two league titles with significant leads.
Their dominance has evolved, with their current sequence of victories showcasing an increased margin, a marked contrast to their earlier triumphs, which were achieved by much narrower leads.
