Polokwane City coach Phuti Mohafe on their decision to host Kaizer Chiefs at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium: This is our venue because it suits us better

Phuthi Mohafe defended his team’s decision to stage their Betway Premiership match against Kaizer Chiefs at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.

Ahead of the game played last night, Polokwane City faced backlash on why they took the game to the compact venue instead of the New Peter Mokaba Stadium which has a better capacity.

The City coach said the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium is their venue as the New Peter Mokaba is also listed as Chiefs’ alternative venue.

“The Old Peter Mokaba Stadium is our home ground. So, where must we play? We deserve to play on this home ground because at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium, Chiefs take us to their home ground,” Mohafe said after the goalless draw at the Limpopo venue.

“We deserve to play here, not anywhere else, because when we go away, we play on their field, so why not? Let us continue playing at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. It suits us better, and we do well when we are playing in this field.

“Regardless of how the pitch looks, this is our wonderful pitch, and we love it.

“So, everybody must come to our pitch and play us at our ground. I’m becoming aggressive by saying that. They must come to our field and play on our field.”
