Kaizer Chiefs’ Initial Interest

Kaizer Chiefs were the first to show interest in Human, with reports emerging two months ago. The club hoped to sign him for free, but Maritzburg exercised their option to extend his contract for another season.

Orlando Pirates’ Double Deal

Orlando Pirates then joined the race for Human’s signature, with reports suggesting that the club was in talks with Maritzburg for a double deal involving both Human and his teammate, Karim Kimvuidi. Chiefs’ interest started to fade, and Human revealed his openness to joining Pirates, citing his communication with their vice-captain, Keagan Dolly.

Kaizer Chiefs Take the Lead

In a surprising twist, Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly taken the lead in securing Human’s services, overtaking both Pirates and any potential interest from Mamelodi Sundowns.

Human’s Departure Confirmed

Maritzburg United values Human at R10 million, and club chairman Farouk Kadodia has confirmed that the talented attacker is set to leave the club. Kadodia stated, “Human is going, but I will make that announcement on Thursday. I will only make the announcement on Thursday, but yes, Human is definitely going.”

The Future Awaits

As fans await the official announcement of Human’s new destination, one thing is certain – his undeniable talent and skill will take his career to new heights. As clubs battle for his signature, spectators can expect more exceptional performances from this rising star in the coming seasons.

Airbnb Under Fire: How Cape Town’s Housing Crunch Became a Tourism Blame-Game

Cape Town’s housing woes are NOT really Airbnb’s fault, even though a viral photo tried to blame them! The real problem is that not enough homes are being built, and lots of new people are moving to the city. Getting building permits takes forever, making homes expensive. Airbnb brings in lots of money and jobs, and even if all Airbnbs disappeared, it wouldn’t fix the big housing shortage. The city needs to build more homes and make it easier to do so, not just point fingers at tourists.
