Kaizer Chiefs youngster, Mfundo Vilakazi is yet to play a full season of senior football, yet he's easily one of the most popular players at the club.

His authentic Kasi Flava skills and playmaking abilities make him an exciting prospect for Amakhosi, who's supporters are desperate to see a homegrown talent in the ilk of Jabu Mahlangu.
