Kaizer Chiefs questioned on Sundowns-bound star

A wonderfully talented Kaizer Chiefs product, Khulumani Ndamane, is edging closer to joining Mamelodi Sundowns from TS Galaxy.

The situation has sparked intense debate among fans and analysts, calling into question whether Kaizer Chiefs’ decision-making in recent transfer windows is letting valuable talent slip through their fingers.

Ndamane, a 21-year-old left-footed center-back, left the Amakhosi reserve side to impress during his breakout season with Galaxy—and even earned a Bafana Bafana debut.

KAIZER CHIEFS DECISION-MAKERS QUESTIONED BY FAROUK KHAN

“Sometimes the guys (at Chiefs) are not making the right decisions,” Khan said via Soccer Laduma. “That bridge between the first team and reserves, you need to find somebody who knows how to ensure the transition is a smooth one,” Khan added.

Bafana Bafana star: ‘Why I joined Sundowns’

“This is (just) one good example but if I’m sitting at Chiefs, I would take it as a very good example never to make the same mistake. This guy is (reportedly) going to Mamelodi Sundowns, he’s a quality player, I watched him at Galaxy and shook my head and said.

“‘For heaven’s sake, that’s the area Kaizer Chiefs are struggling, to get that defensive pairing organized, they should never have let this boy go’, but hopefully they’ve learned the lesson and hopefully in future, they’ll ensure they have a proper sit down when they release players like Ndamane,” Khan concluded.
