The DStv Premiership match between Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch FC took place at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. Siyethemba Sithebe, who had been recovering from a long injury layoff, had his future with the team uncertain due to his contract ending in June.
However, sources suggested that his return from injury offered him the chance to prove himself to the team and potentially secure a new contract with the arrival of a new coach. The team’s management and technical staff believed that if Sithebe regained his fitness, he could still make valuable contributions to the team.
The uncertainty surrounding his future was also linked to the new coach’s plans and decisions regarding the team’s players. With the club anticipating the new coach’s selection of players, Sithebe was given a second chance to remain with the team.
The potential for Sithebe to serve as a cover for defensive midfield was mentioned, pointing to the team’s reluctance to rush any decisions about his future. The 31-year-old midfielder had played only four games in the season due to his injury.
Despite efforts to obtain a comment from Chiefs, the club did not respond to requests. Chiefs were set to face Richards Bay in PSL action in KwaZulu-Natal, looking to recover from recent defeats in the DStv Premiership.
After losing 1-0 at home to Stellenbosch FC and then 2-0 away to Chippa United, the team was eager to bounce back. Additionally, the team had been knocked out of the Nedbank Cup, impacting their recent fixtures.
