Kaizer Chiefs’ poor run of form is cause for concern, admitted coach Giovanni Solinas as AmaKhosi were beaten in the Soweto derby by arch rivals Orlando Pirates.
It was a fourth match without victory for the club and saw them drop to fifth in the standings with just 14 points from 11 games.
“I agree that in the last games we haven’t collected points and that is not good enough for Kaizer Chiefs.
“But, in my opinion, we have the potential to win several matches in a row. There is no reason we cannot we win three, four or five games in a row. This is such a balanced league that if you do that you go right up the table,” Solinas told the post-match press conference.

I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was
