Kaizer Chiefs icon Doctor Khumalo has visited the club’s Naturena headquarters for a meeting with chairman Dr Kaizer Motaung following his appointment to a senior position within South African football administration.

The former Bafana Bafana midfielder reportedly met Motaung to seek his blessing as he prepares to take on his new responsibilities as vice-chairman of the South African Football Association’s (SAFA) Technical Committee.

Khumalo, affectionately known as 16V, is regarded as one of the most influential players to have represented Amakhosi. His exceptional creativity, technical skills and contributions to South African football have made him a respected figure among supporters.

His latest appointment marks another stage in his football journey, allowing him to contribute to the sport beyond his playing career. Through his position on SAFA’s Technical Committee, he is expected to participate in discussions and initiatives relating to the technical development of football in the country.

The specific duties attached to his new role will depend on the committee’s responsibilities. Nevertheless, the appointment places him within an important administrative structure tasked with addressing technical matters in South African football.

Khumalo’s visit to Naturena also reflects the lasting connection he maintains with Kaizer Chiefs and its chairman. Under Motaung’s leadership, the club has grown into one of the country’s most prominent football institutions, while Khumalo established himself as one of its most celebrated former players.

For the club’s supporters, his legacy extends beyond his achievements on the pitch. He remains a symbol of an important period in Kaizer Chiefs’ history, with his performances and long-standing association with the team earning him widespread recognition.
