Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Mandla Masango has given his assessment of his former club so far this season.
Masango played for Chiefs between 2007 and 2015, and he is among the last crop of players to win the league for the club.
Now, with fans divided as to whether the or not the Soweto giants have done, Masango weighed in with his opinion.
Speaking to FARPost, the 36-year-old admitted that Chiefs have had a better season compared to the previous ones.
Masango further pointed out that this time last season, Amakhosi were nowhere near the title chasers.
As things stand, Chiefs are placed fourth on the log, and they just four points behind leaders Orlando Pirates.

KAIZER CHIEFS HAVE IMPROVED THIS SEASON – MASANGO
“I think the way they started compared to previous seasons, they started very well,” said Masango.
“They are also within touching distance of challenging for the league. This time around last season, they were nowhere. So, there is a bit of improvement.”
TOP 8 FINISH A GUARANTEE?
By the look of things, Chiefs are fighting hard to remain within the top six teams on the log standings.
And should they maintain the current performances, chances are they will definitely finish in the top eight bracket.
Chiefs finished outside the top eight for two seasons in a row – 10th in 2023-24 and 9th in 2024-25.
