Club legend: ‘ I stayed because I loved Kaizer Chiefs’

Former Kaizer Chiefs ball wizard has revealed he once chose Amakhosi over a move to Portugal.

SPECIAL LOYALTY TO KAIZER CHIEFS

Most veteran football fans in Mzansi count Dladla among the top five greatest players in history. Speaking to the media in the past week, the former Kaizer Chiefs winger turned down a move to Portugal as a gesture of dedication to Amakhosi.

“Yes, I did get offers,” Dladla said via iDiski Times.

“Once, Mr Motaung came to me and said, ‘There’s a chance for you to go abroad to play with Malombo [Lichaba] in Portugal’. But I said to him, ‘Bra K, if I go, who will be left?’ Ace [Ntsoelengoe] was also gone. I stayed because I loved Chiefs.

“I did not want to leave. How could I when someone lost his life for me to be at this club? I stayed because I wanted to honour Ewert. That’s why I will always be a Khosi,” the Amakhosi icon concluded.
