Pirates legend happy for Chiefs

Legendary former Orlando Pirates coach Roger De Sa believes Kaizer Chiefs’ CAF Confederation Cup promise is only a step forward for the local game.

The Glamour Boys are one match away from the tournament's group stages for the first time in 12 years. After grinding past Angola’s Kabuscorp 1-0 on aggregate in the opening round, Amakhosi held AS Simba to a goalless draw away in the Democratic Republic of Congo last weekend.

“Good to see Chiefs also becoming competitive,” De Sa told TheSouthAfrican’s Siseko Gwegwe.

“It is important. A good Kaizer Chiefs in South African football is vital.

“It just brings the whole standard up and makes it a whole lot more competitive as well. It is good to see that,” De Sa added.
