Marks Maponyane reveals how Kaizer Chiefs can solve their crisis

Former Kaizer Chiefs star Marks Maponyane believes that the current crop of Glamour Boys are far too comfortable.

Is the reading of the riot act the solution? One icon thinks so.

Marks Maponyane reveals how he feels Kaizer Chiefs should solve their crisis

He insists that this would see some players step up to keep their place in the squad.

The icon feels the players need to know that they have humiliated the fans.

“What needs to be done is to read the riot act to the prayers.

“Tell them how they embarrassed the supporters, the faithful of Kaizer Chiefs and then take it from there and say how do we solve this,” Maponyane suggested on the way forward for Chiefs on Radio 2000’s Game On.

The Kaizer Chiefs way or the highway

Maponyane added that players need to know that a contract is no guarantee of a stay at Naturena.

“We solve this by giving them an ultimatum that ‘by the way the contract that you signed doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed to be here, your performance determines whether you’re here or not’,” Maponyane continued in his lament of Kaizer Chiefs current state.

Naturena must be fair

He added that players also need to be given a chance to work on their weaknesses and need to be well-coached.

“And then we might see something different from the players but not neglecting the fact that you still need to work on what they lack on,” Maponyane added.

“Because you can’t just keep on telling the child that, ‘You’re not good at this, you’re not good at that’ but you’re not showing or teaching the child,” he added.

Kaizer Chiefs play host to beleaguered Swallows in the DStv Premiership on Saturday. While the Glamour Boys could end the day as high as fourth in the PSL a poor performance could doom Cavin Johnson to an early sacking.
