Chippa United coach Mokwena addresses beef with Kaizer Chiefs reported target Rakhale

Despite media speculation that Chippa United coach Rhulani Mokwena has beef with Thabo Rakhale, the former Orlando Pirates manager has set the record saying there is no bad blood between them.

Mokwena joined the Chilli Boys on a six months loan deal from Pirates two months ago and reports surfaced immediately after his arrival that he is not seeing eye-to-eye with the dribbling wizard.

However, the 35-year-old tactician says it’s nonsense that the attacking midfielder is leaving the club with reports suggesting that he is courted by Kaizer Chiefs.

“The club has offered a contract extension but, of course, the player needs to discuss and come to an agreement with regards to the terms, but it’s absolute nonsense that Rakhale is on his way out,” said Mokwena as quoted by FARPost.
