Kaizer Chiefs resume their quest of challenging for the ABSA Premiership title against Durban based side, Thanda Royal Zulu (formerly Benoni Premier United) at Olympia Park in Rustenburg on the eve of Valentines Day, Wednesday the 13th of February 2008.



The team formerly known as the Rabbits who are now called “Amabhubesi” (The Lions) have never beaten Chiefs since gaining promotion to the PSL a season ago. Kaizer Chiefs have won two of the matches 2-0 and played one to a goalless draw. Not only will “Amabhubesi” be looking to register their first, but they will also be looking to score their first ever league goal against the Phefeni Glamour Boys.



But this time around “Amabhubesi” will have a lot to play for as three of their key men in three different positions are all former Chiefs Players who would like prove a point to Coach Muhsin Ertugral and their former team. The Chiefs former players are:



Patrick Mayo (defender)

Emmanuel “Scara” Ngobese (Midfield)

Serge Djiehoua (Striker)



Rustenburg is known for its massive support whenever their favorite team is in town, therefore supporters are advised to buy their tickets early to avoid disappointment.



Tickets are already on sale at Computicket and Shoprite outlets.
