Chiefs Fan Shares Details of His 15 Hours Walk

 In a show of remarkable loyalty, Moshikaro Moagi, a long-time supporter of the Kaizer Chiefs, honored a personal pledge by walking from Johannesburg's FNB Stadium to his hometown of Tzaneen after his team’s crushing 4-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns in the Carling Knockout quarter-finals. Moagi, a 40-year-old building inspector at the Greater Tzaneen Municipality, embarked on the 400-kilometer journey as an expression of his dedication to the Chiefs, a team he has supported for 36 years.

The journey, starting at 8:00 PM Saturday night, saw Moagi travel through the night, reaching Tzaneen by 10:00 AM the following day—an estimated 15-hour trek. Speaking to *KickOff* about the experience, Moagi shared how he had been confident of a Chiefs victory after their narrow recent league loss to Sundowns. "When that did not transpire, I was compelled to fulfill my obligation and walk from Johannesburg to Tzaneen," he said.


Moagi recounted the challenges he faced on the road, including sprinting through dark, desolate stretches for safety. "Some areas were too dark and pitch black to walk safely," he noted, emphasizing the physical and mental obstacles he overcame to reach his destination.


Though frustrated by the Chiefs’ recent performances, Moagi remains optimistic about the team’s future. He voiced his dissatisfaction with current management but praised head coach Nasreddine Nabi, appreciating his effective communication—something he felt had been missing under previous coaches. Despite the current struggles, Moagi expressed hope that with the right additions, like Polokwane City's Thabang Matuludi and Ashwin Appolis, the Chiefs could soon improve.


Moagi’s journey has struck a chord with Chiefs fans across South Africa, highlighting the lengths to which supporters go for their teams. His dedication has become a symbol of unwavering fan loyalty, inspiring many even amid a tough season
