The decline of Kaizer Chiefs, one of Africa’s top football clubs, has been attributed to the lack of qualifications and minimal success in leadership roles of the Motaung family, who hold major positions within the club’s administration. The club’s supporters have had little to celebrate and the recent departure of manager Molefi Ntseki highlights uncertain times that require a welldefined vision for the future. Recruitment of new talent and establishing a unique playing style could aid performance and reignite fan passion, but the fate of the club ultimately rests on committed and knowledgeable leadership.
