Khanye, who won the league with Amakhosi in the 2003/04 season, has been vocal about the club on various social media channels lately.
The 34-year-old feels they don't have what it takes to win the league despite sitting on top of the log for over a year now.
He feels his former club doesn't play good football anymore and they have just been getting a series of lucky wins this season.
"We can only give Chiefs credit for winning but the big question is, how do they get those wins?" Khanye tells snl24.com/kickoff.
"Chiefs is like my second home my brother, I played there, I know the culture. But I have a problem with the way they are playing right now. They no longer play good football, the culture is no longer there.
"They only rely on set-pieces and when I was there we were playing good football, not this hopeful football where you just go there with hoping for the best.
"There's no combinations, they are predictable. Even their substitutes, you know who they will take out."
Khanye has been receiving criticism for the way he talks about his former team, but the ex-PSL star says Amakhosi supporters know the truth and most of them are not happy about the performances in the last two seasons.
"The reality is that Chiefs are not convincing, there are a lot of things that need to be changed," he insists.
"They can pretend as if everything is good because they are winning but fact remains, they are poor. If they can play a well-structured team they can lose, and it has been proven.
"I love Chiefs my brother but I can't pretend to be happy when I'm not. They need to change how they play because they won't have this luck forever."
Chiefs take on Bloemfontein Celtic at Tuks Stadium at 18h00 looking to open up a nine-point lead over second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns.
