Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo has reportedly visited the club’s Naturena headquarters to receive the blessing of chairman Dr Kaizer Motaung following his appointment as vice-chairperson of the South African Football Association (SAFA) Technical Committee.

The visit represents a significant moment for the former Bafana Bafana star, whose longstanding association with Amakhosi has made him one of the most respected figures in South African football.

Affectionately known as '16V', Khumalo remains an iconic figure among Kaizer Chiefs supporters, having played a pivotal role in the club’s history and contributed to the growth of South African football during his illustrious playing career.

His appointment to a senior position within SAFA's Technical Committee marks another chapter in his involvement in the game, placing him in a position to contribute to discussions surrounding football development and technical matters in the country.

Khumalo's reported visit to Naturena also highlights his enduring relationship with Motaung, the man who has been instrumental in shaping Kaizer Chiefs into one of South Africa's most recognisable football institutions.

Seeking the chairman's blessing ahead of his new responsibilities carries symbolic significance, reflecting the respect Khumalo continues to hold for the club and its leadership.

The appointment comes with expectations that his football knowledge and experience will contribute positively to the technical direction of the South African game.

For Chiefs supporters, the moment also serves as a reminder of the strong bond between the club and one of its most celebrated former players.

As Khumalo begins his new responsibilities at SAFA, attention will turn to how he uses his experience to contribute to the continued development of football in South Africa.
