Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Mokete Tsotetsi feels Amakhosi have a good defender who can solve their troubles at the back.
Last season, Chiefs leaked the third most goals in the Betway Premiership under Nasreddine Nabi. The team finished ninth in the league despite winning the Nedbank Cup.
Speaking to Soccer Laduma, Tsotsetsi backed Nabi to play Given Msimango. The 28-year-old only featured 10 times last season.
“To be honest, I think Msimango didn’t get enough chances this past season. For me, he is a natural defender and I believe he still has so much to offer the team,” Tsotetsi said.

“He can still solve the problem that Chiefs have at the back, but he has to be given enough opportunities to gain his confidence again. He has done it before and he can do it again. I think he still has a lot to offer Chiefs. If given a chance again, I think he can add value to the team,” the former Chiefs star told Soccer Laduma.
With two years left in his contract, Msimango has plenty of time to prove himself to Nabi and his technical team. Last season, he was mostly a forgotten figure, but suspension and injuries to key Amakhosi defenders forced the Kaizer Chiefs coach to field the lanky defender.
Was Msimango given a fair chance last season?
