Tempers go at Chippa United
Goodman Mosele was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Kaizer Chiefs take the points off Chippa United
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Too much change too quickly at Chippa United
6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
In brief
