Safa are in currently in discussions with Kaizer Chiefs after they received a request from the club to withdraw new Bafana Bafana captain Siphiwe Tshabalala, Itumeleng Khune and Reneilwe Letsholonyane from the squad to face Tanzania on Saturday.

Bobby Motaung’s statement on the Chiefs website last night asked Safa to "be fair" with The Glamour Boys as they are still in contention for the Premiership title, but KickOff.com has learned that coach Pitso Mosimane would prefer them to stay on.

One source close to the team says: “They are staying in camp.”

But Safa's communications director Morio Sanyane refused to confirm the news.

“It is still under discussion. I’m not sure when it will be decided but hopefully there will be a statement later today,” he says.

Chiefs must demand 10 million to let go of those boys! This must be an agreement if Chiefs doesn't win the league.

Eish............Mara this is a joke....Why did chiefs allow them to go at the first place? Why did not they do like ajax, refuse right away? Why this sudden U-turn? Maybe they consulte their sangoma and s/he told them bucs and ajax will loose their games on the 21st and chiefs will win....LOL

Hey, discussions for what? Then they must postpone the whole league program by a week because all teams must play at the same time.
Its that or they should give back our players. Period!!!! We are tied of being saviors of SAFA and PSL. All other teams are just hangers on. Supporters, Players and even advice on how to run a tam professionally. Thats enough. Every donkey must now pull its own weight. Chiefs has suffered enough carrying everybody on its back alone.
