Every story has a beginning and for Amakhosi it all started in the late 1960s and the club has become a powerhouse in South African football
Established in 1970, Kaizer Chiefs are the most popular football club and among the biggest sports brands in South Africa.
The club was formed following a dispute within one of the country's most historical clubs, Orlando Pirates, which led to the expulsion of team manager Ewert Nene and three players, Thomas ‘Zero’Johnson, Ratha Mogoatlheng, Edward ‘Msomi’ Khoza.
Johnson, Mogoatlheng and Khoza had travelled to South Africa’s neighbouring country, Botswana, where they played football without permission from the Pirates management in 1969.
