Marketing
Director, Jessica Motaung has paid tribute to the Kaizer Chiefs faithful ahead
of the important fixture against Platinum Stars on Sunday, 28 April 2013 in
Polokwane.
The
Phefeni Glamour Boys will be hoping to consolidate their position on top of the
Absa Premiership and continue with their fantastic record that has seen them
not losing a game at home since the start of 2012/2013 season.
Marketing
Director Jessica Motaung fresh from SoccerExpo in London said that one of the
reasons the Glamour Boys are on top of the Absa Premiership has been the
supporters.
“The
role that the supporters have played is massive this season. They remain the
cornerstone of which this wonderful institution was built 43 years ago. They
embraced the theme, Reclaiming the Glory! and have inspired the team on the
pitch. The mood that we witnessed at Dobsonville Stadium during our emphatic
win over Moroka Swallows demonstrated the love they have for the team. They
came out in numbers braving the cold weather and we would like to express our
gratitude for that.
“There
is still a long way to go and we want to take this opportunity to invite them
once more on Sunday, 28 April 2013 for the game against Platinum Stars. We know
the calibre of the team we are playing against. They have proved time and time
again this season that they are no pushovers and will come to Peter Mokaba with
all guns blazing,” added Motaung.
Corporate
Communications Manager Vina Maphosa whose office has been inundated with calls
of support from the Kaizer Chiefs faithful added; “The supporters have shown
faith in the team this season. The team conceded first at Moroka Swallows on
Saturday, but instead of the supporters dropping their heads they remained
positive and supportive of the team - something that rubbed off onto the
players on the field of play.
“Peter
Mokaba will be painted gold and black on Sunday and the importance of beating
Platinum Stars on the stands first can never be over emphasized. There is no
question that we have a score to settle with them having lost against them in the
first round. The players and supporters alike will be motivated going to this
game.
“Preparations
at Naturena are going well with the Coach emphasizing the importance of the
team keeping their feet on the ground and focused on their game. The hunger at
the training ground is palpable in the air. The spirit amongst the players and
Technical Team is amazing. When you add the supporters with the mood in the
team it makes us unstoppable,” added Maphosa.
The
Club has called on supporters to wear the gold jerseys to support the campaign,
“Colours are my life” and display love and peace on the stands.
There
will be entertainment before and at half time and fans are expected to walk
away with prizes courtesy of the Club’s main sponsor, Vodacom. Candy Mokoena, former
Tsonga music disco queen, Sepedi folklore and soul music artist, who hails from
the Province of Limpopo will be performing at the game.
Kick
off for the game is billed for 15h00. Tickets are available at all Computicket
and Checkers/Shoprite outlets nationwide.
