There is a defensive gap after the Soweto giants let go of the Botswana skipper, who left for Libya.

The transfer sparked attention from fans, and GOAL looked at what they had to say.

Ditlhokwe will benefit from the move.
I believe Ditlhokwe’s career will benefit from this relocation. Let’s also give thanks to TA Ndebi, the second assistant, who was instrumental in the development of several of our players.

Like Hadebe, I lost
Prince Shukuran Yassin was a gifted footballer who resembled Teenage Hadebe.

The Chiefs are unaware of how crucial it is to retain talented players.

Chiefs will not treat players like prisoners the way the Pirates do. Unlike the Pirates or any other team, we will not treat our players like hostages. Instead, we will allow them to travel to Lisbon if they see promise. Montana Døsskyy

It makes no sense to sell Ditlhokwe.
With just two center-backs, how can you sell a defender? If Miguel or Dortley are hurt, they will Kwinika, but this is business, Saam Ka Langalibalele

No hostage-taking of players
Players cannot be held captive merely because we are concerned about potential injuries; if a player needs to leave, let them. Sibusiso Ngcobo: “Chiefs will figure something out.”
