Ngubane fears for Hlongwane’s Kaizer Chiefs future
SA soccer legend Mlungisi Ngubane believes Kaizer Chiefs might live to regret not accommodating the talents of Naledi Hlongwane earlier.
“They recently promoted a young player, Naledi Hlongwane, from their DDC, and he performed well. However, now he seems to be lost in the squad,” Ngubane told KickOff.
“He’s a promising striker with an eye for goal. Something isn’t right. If they’re not careful, they might lose him like they did with Ndamane.”
