Kaizer Chiefs defender Thatayaone Ditlhokwe has found himself on the fringes of the team’s squad after failing to secure regular playing time.
The 26-year-old Botswana international joined Amakhosi from SuperSport United in the previous season but has struggled to make a significant impact under new Chiefs’ coach Nasreddine Nabi.
Despite his potential, Ditlhokwe has been overshadowed by other defenders, including Inacio Miguel and Rushwin Dortley.
The former SuperSport United star has been limited to substitute appearances and is yet to feature in the 2024/25 campaign.
Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Morgan Gould has offered advice to Ditlhokwe, urging him to remain focused and work hard to regain his place in the starting lineup.
Gould emphasized the importance of self-belief and dedication, highlighting his own experiences of facing similar challenges during his time at Chiefs.
With the Cufa Cup match against Marumo Gallants approaching, Ditlhokwe may have an opportunity to showcase his abilities and potentially earn a starting spot in the team.
However, the competition for places in Chiefs’ defense is fierce, and Ditlhokwe will need to impress Nabi to secure regular playing time.
The future of Ditlhokwe at Kaizer Chiefs remains uncertain. While he possesses the talent to contribute to the team, his lack of playing time raises questions about his long-term prospects at the club.
