Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Lebohang Maboe is in excellent form, having recently won his third consecutive Man of the Match award.
The 31-year-old joined Amakhosi this season as a free agent, and despite facing early challenges, he has persevered and become one of the team’s standout players.
Maboe played a crucial role in helping the Glamour Boys come from behind to secure a 3-1 victory over Orbit College, marking their third straight win in the league.
So far in 2026, he has received a total of four Man of the Match awards while playing for Kaizer Chiefs. Maboe’s impressive performances have garnered praise from both Chiefs fans and coaches alike.
Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef emphasized the importance of staying grounded after another win, stating that the team’s objective is to take it one day at a time.
“I think from the beginning of the season, we’re saying that we’re managing every game like a cup game, we’re managing each game game-by-game, we don’t want to put a lot of pressure on our players, we have a lot of young players also,” he said after the Orbit game.
“So, we have to keep them and protect them, I think the target in the team it’s the same – managing game-by-game now this game is finish.”
Can Maboe continue with his form for Chiefs?
Maboe’s form has allowed the likes of Wandile Duba and Mduduzi Shabalala to shine in the past few weeks.
Having struggled for most part of the season, Duba has now scored in consecutive matches having returned to the starting lineup.
Amakhosi will next be in action at home against TS Galaxy at the FNB Stadium this coming weekend. All eyes will be on Maboe has he seeks to push Chiefs closer to the CAF Confederation spot.
