“We wish all our supporters and their families a merry Christmas,” says captain Siphiwe ‘Shabba’ Tshabalala, speaking on behalf of the Kaizer Chiefs team.

‘Shabba’ also thanks the entire Amakhosi Family for the year that was: “We had a good year, despite the disappointing two cup finals (MTN8 and Telkom Knockout). However, we lifted the 2014/15 Absa Premiership trophy in record breaking style.”

“With many deaths recorded already on our roads, we call on everybody to travel safely during the festive period,” comments Tshabalala, pleading in particular on people not to drink and drive. “We want to see all our supporters again in 2016.”
