Here's how the readers reacted to the "'Kaizer Chiefs Is The Mother And The Flag Of The Nation'" story:
"The Hawks should have arrested you during this interview because you were not being truthful and must have perjury added to the list of charges," says says Shikabala.
"Kaizer Chiefs can never in no way be a yard stick of South African Soccer. Chiefs never paid for these quality players you claim they bought.
"Why do you think they are not willing to break the bank for quality players? because it is not in their DNA to spent money on quality players. Look at history the best players were from their development when it used to work," says Fela.
"Well put PRO. Who ever is scouting for Chiefs is very poor. Having dmsaid that, I tend to differ with who to copy. Not Sundowns BUT the late Mr. Ewert Nene, may his soul rest in eternal peace.
"Chiefs have never weakened the opposition and did not deliberately block players from joining a particular club," says Soccer Fanatic.
"Where is Chiefs flying the flag? Naturena??? Mxm... please. Only one team is flying the National flag," says rory.IKITS
"Referees were the mother of our Nation my elder," says Vha Musanda Cosmos na Bucs.
"Times have changed Sprinter, those glory days were in the past, not now," says @ThizaK.
