"I still believe in that Kaizer Motaung can change this scenario of KC being a family club and get the right people in the running of the club. Bobby is not the right person to take this mighty club to the next level.

"He flopped with his own business. Rather sell club, then you will see a supporter like myself going back to the stadium. I am really not interested what's happening right now. Cost saving is not the only way to change your fortunes. Invest into the right resources. Not Bobby," says user633055.

"He will remain trophy less until he goes somewhere else," says Dominate-downs.

"My favorite player in the PSL. I have high hopes for him," says StheLucipher.

"He is playing for the wrong team," responds Saavedra to the comment above.

Former Kaizer Chiefs attacking midfielder Lebogang Manyama stunned the South African football fraternity by announcing his retirement at the age of 32.

Manyama's retirement came as a result of him receiving medical advice that his knee won't heal properly after rehabbing for an MCL rather an a ACL injury.

The 2016/17 PSL Footballer of the Year explained that he won't take the knee injury controversy any further, stating that he can't point out which of his three knee surgeries did the most damage.

Manyama also explained that he doesn't have the time or energy to go through a court case about his knee injury misdiagnosis, which could result in Chiefs being dragged into the situation, something that isn't ideal for him.

The former Cape Town City baller revealed that he knows the right channels to go through to get an insurance payout and has already spoken to Amakhosi Football Manager Bobby Motaung about it.

Here's how the readers reacted to the "Manyama: Why I Won't Raise Knee Injury Controversy" story:

"Yaa neh, tough one especially not knowing the main course off this but I'm with you when you say court will take money. Hard luck.

"Maybe Chiefs will open a vacancy for you and others who retired from different injuries and different teams. Sports is a short career I hope the upcoming Stars will take something from this," says Bucs365.

"I will say it again, average is the norm at Chiefs, the same Chiefs doctors failed to heal Nurkovic. Average coaches and average players now average backroom staff, I give up," says sbusisogumede16.

"Chiefs has a tendency of making injuries worse, the did the same with Billiat who was forced to play before he fully recovered, same with Caleb and Nurkovic," says Dominate-downs.

"I suspect Billy [Khama Billiat] has that kind of injury but was advised to milk them before he says anything," His Majesty Yellow PSL Beast.

"I wonder who is that cruel Doctor, its sad shame," says @ThizaK.
