Dolly speaks up :Dolly addresses ‘fake news’ on his Kaizer Chiefs salary

Ex-Kaizer Chiefs star Keagan Dolly has laughed off media reports of how much money he earned with the Naturena club.


DOLLY LAUGHS OFF KAIZER CHIEFS SALARY REPORTS

Former Montpellier, Sundowns and Chiefs attacking midfielder Keagan Dolly was one of the best-paid players in South Africa. However, the 31-year-old has indicated that media reports of his salary were significantly wide of the mark, via a SoccerLaduma exclusive:

“With all the allegations of how much I earned at Kaizer Chiefs and what I was on and me not playing as much. Obviously, the supporters felt, like the club is paying you so much and you’re not playing, but then I tried so much not to look at social media and let those things affect me. I try to control everything I can,”

“I knew that wasn’t the right figure so I couldn’t control what other people thought of me and how I was handling myself on the field or not and I always felt like when I did go on the field for Kaizer Chiefs, I gave my best, you know?

“But yeah, at the end of the day, with the media and blowing things out of proportion is crazy. It’s something I still sometimes just think about and laugh at,” he concluded.

DOLLY PLOTS HIS NEXT MOVE

Keagan Dolly is without a club after his Chiefs deal expired. He hasn’t played a competitive match since May but is fit and firing again. He was briefly linked with a move to SuperSport.


THREE NEW YOUNGSTERS TRAIN WITH CHIEFS

Talented playmaker Manqoba Ozoemenanicknamed Pelembe, and 18-year-old winger Nkosana Mbuthu are part of the first-team furniture at Naturena. Mbuthu started the 4-0 friendly defeat to Young Africans at left-back because of an injury crisis at the club. Ozoemena achieved the rare feat of supplying three assists in one DDC game last season. That could be a hint as to how good he can become. He’s outgrown the Diski Challenge level. Meanwhile, left-footed holding midfielder Thulani Mabaso has also been invited to train with the seniors.
