njikalanga, Amakhosi, achonge uPatrick Mabedi njengomqeqeshi obambeleyo kude
kuphele isizini. Ukuchongwa kukaMabedi kulandela ukuhamba kukaSteve Komphela
emva kokubethwa kweKaizer Chiefs ngo’2-0 yiFree State Stars kumdlalo weNedbank
Cup ebusuku ngoMgqibelo. Lo kaMabedi ebesebenza njengesekela likaKomphela kule
sizini. UMabedi akafiki kwiChiefs ngoba wayidlalela ukusuka ngo-1998 ukuya
ku-2006. Wayeyinxalenye yeChiefs eyaphakamisa iindebe ezimbini ze-Absa Premier
Soccer League ngethuba iChiefs iphantsi kwesandla sikaTed Dumitru ongasekhoyo.

Zwane. Akukacaci ukuba ngubani oyena mntu oyakuthi angene endaweni kaKomphela.

Soccer League, igxize iChiefs ngomdliwo ophaya kumakhulu amabini amawaka (R200 000)

beChiefs badinwe kukunyamzela iisizini ezintathu kungekho ndebe phantsi
kukaSteve Komphela. Inye indoda evele enkundleni yaseThekwini namhlanje ebanjwe ngoMgqibelo malunga nesiganeko esenzeke eMoses Mabhida Stadium.
