Vilakazi completes Chiefs move

Former Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, Black Leopards and Bafana Bafana midfielder Benedict 'Tso' Vilakazi has completed his move to Swazi Premier League side Malanti Chiefs.

Vilakazi, who arrived in Swaziland yesterday, is expected to start training with Chiefs today after signing a six-month contract.

'Tso' has been in the football wilderness for the past six months after being dumped by Black Leopards.

Malanti boss Dumisani Gumede was elated when speaking to KickOff.com saying that the arrival of Vilakazi is going to boost his team’s aspirations of winning the League title this season.

"We have completed the paperwork and all we need to do is register him. I still believe that he has a lot to offer in football.

"I have no doubt that his presence will also inspire the youngsters in the team," adds Gumede.

Vilakazi is the third player to join the club from the PSL after former Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs striker Phumlani Mkhize and Vusi Madinane from Platinum Stars.

Hawu! So what happened to the offers he had from China? I hope he takes this opportunity very serious unlike his former friend Lekoelea.

My sources have just told me that Kaizer Chiefs have signed a precontract with Leeds United's Davide Somma. Somma becomes a free agent at the end of the season

What is failure? Everything else will become easy once we know what failure is.

We to FC Twente in July 2009 and was a member of the team that won the Dutch 2009–10 Eredivisie. After Twente Manager Steve Mclaren's move to the German Bundesliga, Parker failed to convince new coach Michel Preud'homme of his qualities and thus spent the first half of the 2010/11 Dutch season mostly on the bench.

The new coach didnt want him just like most of the Chiefs players offloaded by Muhsin who had a good defensive record

"Parker failed to convince new coach Michel Preud'homme of his qualities" I rest my case. The man even failed in Marcedonia
