Kaizer Chiefs Chairman, Mr. Kaizer Motaung has joined millions around the world in congratulating United States President elect, Mr. Barack Obama. The much anticipated elections were held on Tuesday, 4 November 2008.

“It is with great delight that Honourable Barack Obama has been elected the first African-American President of the great United States of America.
