Why Chiefs manager Motaung met Botswana club officials

Kaizer Chiefs Football Manager Bobby Motaung held an important meeting with Botswana club Black Lions president Tendani Sebata a few days ago.

A statement from the FNB Premiership side confirms the engagement with the Betway Premiership team’s officials.

The statement adds that the discussions zeroed in on areas of possible collaboration with the South African outfit.

The meeting is reported to have taken place at Naturena, Johannesburg, where AmaKhosi delegation comprised reserve team coach Dillon Sheppard.

“The meeting focused on strengthening relations between the two clubs, exchanging ideas on football development,” reads the statement.

What else did Chiefs delegation agree with during meeting?

During the meeting, Chiefs also agreed to release their up-and-coming star Xolani Cossa to Black Lions.

Meanwhile, Black Lions resume their FNB Premiership campaign against Santa Green on Saturday.

The club from Botswana has an appetite for South African football personnel having hired former Orlando Pirates coach Owen Da Gama last year before sacking him over poor results.

Black Lions FC were registered officially in June 2025 under the Kweneng Regional Football Association to compete in Division Two.
However, an opportunity to swap FBN Premiership status with VTM FC arose, effectively pushing the Lions into the top-flight league by default.
