"I'm running a security company and other small businesses."
Club supported?
"Kaizer Chiefs was my first team. Apparently, the first words I spoke as a baby were 'Kaizer Chiefs'. The Kaizer Chiefs of Doctor Khumalo.
"I grew up in a place where there was no television, magazines or newspapers, so this thing of supporting Kaizer Chiefs just happened."
How long supported?
"Currently, I'm close to 40 years of age. I think I've supported Kaizer Chiefs since I was eight years old."
Are you happy with the bosses?
"In the beginning, I doubted [Sporting Director] Kaizer Motaung Jr., but he is now proving me wrong. He is working very hard. He listens to the supporters, he wants them to be happy.
"Even though sometimes players' agents and the other teams keep on disappointing him, he is doing a good job now."
Are you happy with the coach?
"I can't say I'm happy with the coach, but I trust Nasreddine Nabi. When Arthur Zwane was announced as the new coach, we trusted him but only because of his good record as a player and the fact that he was the one who developed most of the players that were there in the first team.
"A good coach shouldn't be a 'yes boss' type of a coach. A good coach is not afraid to tell club management: 'This player is not quality. I don't want this player, I want this one'.
"What was the downfall of most coaches at Chiefs was not being brave enough to tell the management if a certain player was not in their plans.
"So, Nabi, I trust him a lot, I must say."
Are you happy with the players?
"I'm happy with what this boy Kaizer Motaung Jr. has been doing. If you look carefully, all the players that were brought to Kaizer Chiefs by him were playing for their country's national team. But they were dropped from their national teams.

"So, I believe in the current squad of players."
Who do you want them to sign?
"If we can get Oswin Appollis, then everything else can wait until next season. They must try everything they can to get him. we want quality, and that boy, he's got plenty of it. They must spend wisely, though, because we understand they are in business."
Your message to the team?
"I will start with Kaizer Jr. At the level I'm in as a Kaizer Chiefs supporter, I'm happy with what he is doing for the club so far.
"To the players, guys, we are behind you. As supporters, we will continue to be there in numbers, so please make us proud.
"And to the technical team, we know what Nabi is capable of. We know his records, and he also has our full support."
