Perfect guy and he fits the budget. Pitso like Nabi was too expensive📍

@Kharrotie:

He must be cheap and controllable 😏, chiefs is not serious

@sekgathiMalau:

Guys please let’s give the coach a chance, he is our African brother probably as good as coach Rhulani.

@Khaye84:

Are we prejudice manje cause Naby won the Tanzanian league but we all want him but play down a coach who has won more titles… Zimbabwe league is not greater than the Tanzanian league purely on financial bases nothing more..

@Granitegumede:

Pasuwa winning 8 league titles in Malawi and Zimbabwe does not guarantee that he will win titles with Chiefs.
