Kaizer Chiefs | Three players that must be benched
AmaZulu humbled Kaizer Chiefs and beat them 4-0. Next up on the line is Mamelodi Sundowns. However, according to The South African, a few things need to change at Naturena, including the removal of these underperforming players

However, Arthur Zwane consistently selects a nearly identical team. Unfortunately, this choice has backfired, as Amakhosi suffered consecutive losses against Sekhukhune United and AmaZulu. Thus, something needs to be changed. beginning with these three changes.
1) ZITHA KWINIKA
Kwinika had a shocker with his performance against Usuthu. But, he had trouble with set pieces and man marking, and his positioning was subpar. He also performed poorly in the Sekhukhune United loss at home.
The same kind of mistakes and inconsistent play at the back is something Amakhosi cannot afford to have against Sundowns’ deadly attacking capabilities. Perhaps Eric Mathoho, a legendary Amakhosi player, should play again at Naturena.

2) EDMILSON DOVE
Dove is commonly used as the defensive center. Therefore, the reason he appeared so uncomfortable in the back was not totally his fault.
Amakhosi, therefore, requires a center back with greater maturity and experience. One thinks of Njabulo Ngcobo.
2) ASHLEY DU PREEZ
12 games, two goals, and an injury layoff. His status with the Glamour Boys is undoubtedly at risk when you consider this and the several excellent opportunities he has failed to score.
Yes, it is—especially with Christian Saile Basomboli’s impending arrival.
These changes might increase the chances of chiefs recovering from their poor performance.
