Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo concerned about Mfundo Vilakazi’s stagnant career at club

Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo has raised concerns over Mfundo Vilakazi’s stagnant career at Amakhosi.

The 19-year-old promising attacking midfielder has struggled for minutes since joining Kaizer Chiefs in 2024. Despite his confidence, Vilakazi has managed only four substitute appearances for the club this season.

However, Khumalo has expressed his displeasure about lack of game time for the enterprising midfielder.

“A player like Mfundo now is supposed to be thee player,” Khumalo said on SABC Sport. “(Looking at) his peers… I mean, he’s been there for… what? Almost two years, and he’s been coming on [for] 10 minutes, 20 minutes.

“So, there’s no progression. The boy is stagnant,” the Bafana Bafana icon concluded.

Meanwhile, Vilakazi won’t be available to face Marumo Gallants on Wednesday. He has left with the U20 national side to play at the FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile.
