Kaizer Chiefs Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr has addressed growing criticism regarding his role at the club.
The 44-year-old has been under scrutiny since taking up the position in July 2021. During that period, the Glamour Boys have struggled for consistent success in domestic competitions.
KAIZER MOTAUNG JR ADDRESSES PRESSURE
Amakhosi ended a painful 10-year wait for silverware by lifting the Nedbank Cup in 2025 after defeating Orlando Pirates in the final.
Still, some supporters and former players believe the club should consider appointing someone outside the Motaung family structure.
In response, Motaung Jr believes the work done in recent years is beginning to show progress.
“Last year we ended a 10-year trophy drought, and it took three years to be able to change the club’s fortunes,” Motaung Jnr said on 947’s MSW.

“I firmly believe that if you work as a collective, there’s so much more that we can achieve. We also have goals and targets, but I’m here to work. I’m here to serve.
“The time when I don’t achieve the goals like anybody else, then I will be the first person to be like, ‘well, listen, I’m not achieving the goals that I have set out,” he added.
ACCOUNTABILITY REMAINS PART OF THE KAIZER CHIEFS JOB
The former Kaizer Chiefs striker said every individual inside the club has targets to meet.
“We are here to work and serve. There’s no one here who has a set job. Everyone has deliverables. Everyone has KPIs that you have to achieve,” the former striker said.
“I’m fully focused on my responsibilities, and I think everyone that’s associated with the team is fully focused,” added Jr.
“I’m here to work and serve. I have a job and a responsibility. And like anybody else, if I do not achieve the roles and objectives set out for me, then I must make way.”
Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs return to the pitch on Sunday as Durban City visit the FNB Stadium.
