Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Junior Khanye has commented on the state of affairs at the Soweto giants following the technical team changes made for the 2023/24 season.
Amakhosi haven't had the best of starts to the season after picking up only one point from a possible nine from their first three matches.

Molefi Ntseki's side was defeated 1-0 by TS Galaxy in the most recent match at Mbombela Stadium on Sunday afternoon and are 13th on the DStv Premiership log.
Khanye believes that Arthur Zwane was doing a better job as Chiefs' head coach than Ntseki even though the former Bafana Bafana mentor did manage to lead the side to the semi-finals of the MTN8 after defeating Cape Town City in the previous match.
"I have always maintained that the choice of the coach has been questionable and from what I have seen so far there is no improvement in the team from last season. I am not a big fan of Arthur's coaching but he was better than the current head coach. The coach has had pre-season with the team and he had the chequebook to sign players I would assume. The coach's team selections are questionable. (Siyethemba Sithebe) didn't give Chiefs anything last season and I don't understand why he was retained. (Yusuf) Maart was inconsistent and didn't help the club to achieve anything last season," said Khanye, speaking to the Siya crew.

"I would like to see more of (Edson) Castillo. There have been some moments of him where he showed promise here and there but I am not yet convinced hence I am saying that I would like to see more of him. (Pule) Mmodi is a senior player based on what he did at Golden Arrows and you would expect to see more of him at Chiefs in terms of his contributions but I am yet to see that. For me, he looks unfit. You talk of a player like (Ranga) Chivaviro and all I can say is that Marumo Gallants and Chiefs are not the same. The guy can't create a space for himself and the pressure is mounting. They should have signed a dynamic striker and should have done everything to bring (Khanyisa) Mayo to the club," he said.
