Kaizer Motaung Jnr has hit back at Manqoba Mnqithi who accused Kaizer Chiefs of forming an alliance with their opponents Al Ahly in the CAF Champions over the last weekend.
Famous comments of Manqoba Mnqithi of “beating collaboration” created controversy of whether or not it was right for Kaizer Chiefs to host Al Ahly in their training grounds.

Speaking to Kaizer Chiefs fans on Twitter #KhosiSpaces on Wednesday, Motaung Mnqithi’s comments were unsportsmanlike.
“I want to address this briefly and [state] that some of them (the comments) made by our esteemed colleague at Sundowns coach Mngqithi are very disappointing, because you know as a club it is very important for us also to show camaraderie for the bigger picture of the football industry as we hosted Al Ahly – the African champions,” Motaung Jnr said.
“We heard the comments coach Mngqithi made and why I feel that it’s quite disappointing, it’s quite unsportsmanlike. It is because instead of a head coach focusing on the great achievement that the club themselves had made by beating the reigning African champions twice, he chose to use that platform to attack us and to say some very unsportsmanlike comments in the media.

“So, one for us if we are sitting back and someone within our organisation or a coach had commented in that way we would be very, very upset. We would definitely call that coach in to explain his words because it was very misplaced and quite disappointing that he said that.”
