Moloisane targets league title and maiden CAF star to restore Chiefs’ glory

Soweto-born defender Thabo Moloisane has settled quickly at boyhood club Kaizer Chiefs, aiming to help end their 12-year title drought and create his own history.

Moloisane targets league title and maiden CAF star to restore Chiefs’ glory

Thabo Moloisane, a Kaizer Chiefs defender, is targeting both the league title and his first CAF star to restore the club's glory. Born and raised in Soweto, just a short distance from the club's headquarters in Naturena, Moloisane has always been a dedicated supporter of Chiefs. After playing for various other clubs, including Mamelodi Sundowns' academy and Maritzburg United, Moloisane signed with Chiefs as a free agent at the end of last season.

His loyalty to the club has helped him adapt seamlessly to his new role, featuring in five games during the team's current unbeaten seven-match start in the Betway Premiership. Moloisane's ambition to win the continental crown and end the club's 12-year league title drought is fueled by his deep-rooted love for Chiefs. He recalls, "Growing up, it was all that I knew. I remember as a small boy, I came to fetch tickets here."

Despite being unbeaten in the league, Chiefs still lag behind their arch-rivals, Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates. However, Moloisane remains optimistic about the team's progress, attributing their improvement to the coach's strategy and system. With a crucial league clash against his former club, Stellies, on the horizon, Moloisane expresses his gratitude towards both Stellies and Chiefs for shaping his career. He is eager to lead the team to victory and write his name in the history books.
