Kaizer Chiefs: Top FIVE most valuable players and their staggering price tags
Kaizer Chiefs is one of the richest football clubs in South Africa. So, it comes as no suprise that Amakhosi players are amongst the most expensive in the Transfer market. Kaizer Chiefs are well-known for their incredible buying power. In fact, at one point Amakhosi had the three highest-paid players in the PSL – Keagan Dolly, Samir Nurkovic and Khama Billiat – at the same time. Now, despite continuous failed campaigns in the Betway Premiership, the Soweto giants still boast some of the most valuable players in the entire PSL. * Please note that all of these values are based off of the reported latest player values on Transfermarkt. Yusuf Maart (Amakhosi Captain) – (R20.7 MILLION) Chiefs captain Maart is valued at approximately, $1 million. This equates to almost R21 million (R20.7 million). Thus, making him the most highly valued player in the transfer market. 2. Given Msimango/Reeve Frosler – R18.7 MILLION Interestingly, two under-utilised defenders share the honour of being Amakhosi's second-highest most valuable players. Both centre back, Msimango and right back, Frosler have an estimated market value of $900 000 which equotes to R18.65 million (roughly R18.7 million). 3. Ashley Du Preez – R17.6 MILLION The speedy attacker has blown hot and cold since joining Chiefs from Stellies a few seasons ago. However, whilst his transfer market evaluation has dipped to $850 000 (R17.6 millin), he is still one of the most valuable players at Amakhosi. Moreover, he is also one of the most highly valued players in the PSL today. 4. Mduduzi Shabalala – R14.5 MILLION Mdu Shabalala is one of the fastest-rising young talents in the PSL. A couple of seasons ago he was playing for Amakhosi's DDC side. Now, he is a regular starter in the Chiefs senior side and one of the most valuable players in the PSL. 'Mdu' is valued at $700 000 which is approximately R14.5 million. 5. Rushwin Dortley/Bradley Cross – R13.5 MILLION Both youngsters were recently signed when Nasreddine Nabi took over the reins at Chiefs. So, whilst neither transfer fee was disclosed, we know both players are worth big money. Furthermore, both Dortley and Cross are valued at $R650 000. Meaning, both men have an estimated transfermarkt value of R13.47 million (R13.5 million). Blom was one of the most valuable players before he returned to the United Stated. His market value currently sits at $900 000 (R18.7 million). Thus, mmaking him one of the most valuable players to leave Chiefs in recent seasons. Brutal defender, Inacio Miguel has an estimated market evaluation that sees him worth $600 000 (R12.43 million). Meaning, if any of the players on this list depart from Naturena, Miguel will become one of the top five most valuable players left at Chiefs.

Gauteng government setting ‘terrible example' by owing City of Ekurhuleni R382.3m
ACDP said it's not fair that government departments are treated differently to residetns when it comes to paying municipal bills. City of Ekurhuleni signs near the Germiston Civic center, 10 October 2022. Picture: Neil McCartney / The Citizen The African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) in Ekurhuleni says it is 'shocked' that the Gauteng government owes the municipality R382.3 million for water and electricity. ACDP councillor Palesa Yates told The Citizen on Tuesday that R41.1 million of the amount owed has been owed for more than three months. 'The ACDP recently asked a question in council on the matter and was shocked to discover that various departments of our provincial government owe the City of Ekurhuleni R382.3 million. 'The Gauteng provincial government must pay its water and lights accounts on time,' Yates said. Government departments that do not pay their municipal bills on time set a 'very bad example to residents' who have their electricity cut off for non-payment, she added. 'It is not fair that government departments should be treated differently from ordinary residents,' she said.

More government entities owe the municipality Written replies to questions in council revealed that other state entities also owe the municipality. 'According to question responses tabled in council, the South African Revenue Services (Sars) owes R1.6 million, the Department of Correctional Services owes almost R17.6 million, and the Department of Infrastructure Development owes almost R170 million in rates,' she said. Yates said it is difficult to cut off municipal services for government departments and entities. 'The city forces residents to pay by cutting off their water and lights; but this can be a challenge when it comes to some government departments like basic education or health, for example. 'It would be wrong to cut off water to a hospital, for example, because patients will suffer. Different tiers of government, however, have platforms where they can engage. Robust engagements need to happen,' she said. Ekurhuleni's debt collection campaign Last year, the City of Ekurhuleni launched a campaign to recoup more than R26 billion from residents and businesses who have defaulted on their municipal accounts. During the launch of this campaign, the MMC of Finance, Jongizizwe Dlabathi, told The Citizen that residents who owe the municipality for services should pay or have their lights cut off. He advised that those struggling to pay should contact the city. What is the importance of paying for rates and services? Meanwhile, Yates said if metros and municipalities are not paid for services, they will run out of money to do maintenance work like fixing potholes and dealing with power outages. 'All users of municipal services must pay – unless they are indigents,' she said. The Citizen contacted the Gauteng provincial department for comment about its debt to the City of Ekurhuleni. However, the provincial government's spokesperson, Vuyo Mhaga, referred the media enquiry to the Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development (DID). No response was received from DID at the time this article was published. NOW READ: The race to save Johannesburg: Who has the best plan to rescue the city?
