Kaizer Chiefs: Motaung on Velebayi and Baartman
With Cape Town Spurs relegated ABC Motsepe League, the duo could very well be free agents pending the Premier Soccer League Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC) hearing. The Urban Warriors argue that the players are still contracted with the team and if a club wants their services, they should buy them.
Motaung says Kaizer Chiefs will wait for the outcome of the hearing.
'I think what's important is that we're in the business of doing things that won't interfere with other clubs, we want to follow certain procedures and that relates to any other player we're looking at,' she told the media.
'So, we're taking a very professional approach in terms of integrating and bringing the players into the team, so we will make sure we only make announcements when the time is right – so watch this space.
'But certainly, we can't be engaging on players who are still with teams or still contracted. once there are any changes we will make those announcements. There's a process; it needs to be followed, once it's done, we will make announcements.'

Siwelele FC boss brags about being Minister Gayton's son
Despite shying away from his father's last name, Calvin Le John introduced himself as the son of Minister of Sport, Art and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, after addressing supporters of his newly acquired football club, Siwelele. The businessman- the firstborn of the former convict – recently purchased the club, previously Supersport United, for R50 million in a closed business deal. In his first speech, Siwelele FC's new boss introduced himself to the club's supporters. 'I am Calvin Le John, the firstborn of the Minister of Sport, Gayton McKenzie', he told a crowd of football fans at their general meeting last week. Calvin touched on his relationship with Gayton, and their love of the Bloemfontein Celtic club – nicknamed Siwelele – which later became Royal AM. 'On the day I was born, my father was sentenced to 17 years [for armed robbery]. From the day I was born until the age of 10, the only connection we had was through the visitors' section at Grootvlei [prison]. Becoming emotional, he added: 'In my family, one of the only things that brought us happiness was Siwelele'. @l_keezy021 Gayton McKenzie's son Calvin Le John donates R100,000 to supporters and gives his first speech as the Chairman of Siwelele football club in Bloemfontein #southafricatiktok #gaytonmckenzie #gayton #latestnews #incaseyoumissedit #southafricantiktok🇿🇦 #southafricatiktok🇿🇦 #fyp #fypageシ ♬ original sound – L_Keezy021 Since Calvin Le John acquired Siwelele FC, many South Africans have accused Gayton McKenzie of having a hand in the closed business deal.
