The Amakhosi Faithful attended in their numbers as they signed up for the lucrative and much sought after membership cards. The Family atmosphere showcased by the organizers and those who attended, showed the true value of the brand as the children, middle aged and elderly Supporters made their stamp as card carrying members.
The Launch was one of the first to take place over the next year, where centres will be opened for Supporters who can purchase merchandise and membership, access the internet and have pride in having a home for their beloved brand! These centres will also allow individuals as well branches a meeting point until branch structures are in place. On the day, Gold, Silver, Youth and Kids membership sold well while other Supporters read up on the various benefits for the different tiers of membership. Kaizer Chiefs painted Dlhamini Gold and Black as Supporters attended in their favorite colors as they shared in the story that is History, our History!
Amakhosi Supporters know when they attend a Kaizer Chiefs event that entertainment will always showcase the best in the business, the day’s entertainment included Nhlanhla Nciza, Solly Maholo, Prokid, Brickz and the Kaizer Chiefs Choir.
The Kaizer Chiefs Legends defeated the Kaizer Chiefs Celebrity Team, Captained by Sputla Mogale, 3-2 while Legendary Players like Shakes Kungoane dazzled the crowd with play that has made him most popular as he shoe-shined and dribbled around Celebrity names like Tsepho Maseko, Zuluboy, Hawk Makepula and many others. The Kaizer Chiefs U15, Coached by Kaizer Chiefs Legend, Nstie Maphike, also played a 1-0 win over the Dhlamini 11 Experience.
Skydivers from Aerial FX descended from the Soweto sky amidst yellow coloured smoke as Soweto was treated to a truly golden Experience on the day. MC’s Papi Moloi (Yfm) and Meshack Mavuso (Isidingo) also played their role and did well to invite Supporters to be a part of the experience as they kept the crowd informed and entertained.
