Kaizer Chiefs suffer blow as Manyama suspended for Soweto derby vs Orlando Pirates

Kaizer Chiefs forward Lebogang Manyama will not be available due to suspension when Amakhosi host Orlando Pirates in Sunday’s Soweto derby confrontation at FNB Stadium.

The 30-year-old was shown his fourth yellow card when Chiefs were held to a 1-1 draw by Maritzburg United last week.

Interestingly, Manyama grabbed Chiefs’ equaliser late in that match as they appeared headed for a second league defeat by the Team of Choice.
