A New Journey for Haashim Domingo: From South Africa to Morocco

South African midfielder Haashim Domingo, once linked to Kaizer Chiefs, has now joined Moroccan football giants, Raja Club Athletic. Domingo’s recent transfer comes after a challenging period with Mamelodi Sundowns, where inconsistent game time due to injuries held him back from showcasing his full potential.

Missed Opportunity with Kaizer Chiefs

Although Chiefs initially showed interest in Domingo, the club’s football manager, Kaizer Motaung Jr, went silent on the matter. Despite the fact that no transfer fee would have been required to secure the midfielder’s move, the reason for Motaung’s silence remains a mystery.
