Loftus Versfeld

Since when has Loftus Versfeld been one of Kaizer Chiefs' grounds? The Chiefs are from Jo'burg and Loftus Versfeld is in Pretoria, so how does that even work? – Pee Jay 15:53, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is because Vodacom had shares in Loftus and are main sponsors for both Blue Bulls and Kaizer Chiefs. During that time FNB was not available due to renovations. Since anywhere in the country is home to Kaizer Chiefs, the sponsors chose Loftus as home ground for Kaizer Chiefs. It was pointless to rent the stadium while the sponsors had shares in other stadium. And that was the right decision because the average attendance at the stadium was over 25000164.151.129.211 (talk) 12:38, 26 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.151.129.211 (talk) 12:36, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lucas Radebe

"Kaiser Chiefs, a British indie/britpop band, was named after the club because Nyiko Mathebula, a former player of Kaizer Chiefs, captained Leeds United, the team they all supported."Italic text

I'd question this statement. I can definitely remember either seeing or else hearing the Kaiser Chiefs interviewed and they specifically said that they picked the name because Lucas Radebe was their favorite player. Correct story wrong player. Sorry I can't prove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.224.148 (talk) 17:16, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody has been fiddling with this article. Yes, the Brit band did take the name because of Lucas Radebe, who was the Leeds United captain. If you have notcied the name Nyiko Mathebula has been inserted in a number of positions within the article - Executive Chairman, Coach, Football Manager and even as a player - where in fact said person is completely unrelated to the club.

I cleaned up what I could and found a link that confirms that the Brit band Kaiser Chiefs took there name from the club because of Lucas Radebe. Thesmartstag (talk) 07:08, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Location

The first sentence of this article says that the club is based in Naturena, Johannesburg South. The next paragraph starts by referring to Orlando Pirates as "a fellow Soweto-based team". Does this mean that Soweto and Johannesburg South are the same thing?

Notably, when we look at a map, Naturena is separated from Soweto by the N1/N12 freeway. The area we call "Soweto" is only the area west of this freeway, not east. The area to the east is what we call Johannesburg South.

So, whether it is their offices in Naturena or even where they play their soccer from (FNB Stadium in Nasrec), Kaizer Chiefs are "not" from Soweto. Kaizer Chiefs are only declared as a Soweto-team because the township is adjacent but where they are based is not part of Soweto. So, it is correct for the first sentence to have Johannesburg South mentioned and we need the rest of the article to keep the message at that.
