Appollis’ Response To Doctor Khumalo Regarding His Transfer Link To Chiefs

One of the most sought-after South African strikers, Oswin Appollis, made headlines during the previuos transfer window. The Polokwane City Football Club forward has been connected to three major teams: Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Orlando Pirates.

One of the Kaizer Chiefs legends, Doctor “16v” Khumalo, inquired why Oswin did not join Chiefs during the 2024 transfer window, and the 23-year-old Appollis suggested that it was beyond his control.

This discussion took place in Cape Town following Bafana Bafana’s 3-0 victory over South Sudan, where Appollis received the man of the match award.

“After one Bafana Bafana game I think it was in Cape Town, Appollis was Man of the Match and I handed over the cheque,” Khumalo said on Soccerzone.

“I called him to the side I wanted to know what’s really blocking him from joining Chiefs. He said ‘it’s not me coach, it’s not me legend. I don’t know why am I not able to join Chiefs’.

“And I asked him ‘What do you want” and he said ‘I want to grow’. Grow how because growth can be in different ways.

“So I asked if he wanted to grow in terms of football or what, he said ‘yes, maybe something that can be challenging’.

“Not taking anything away from Polokwane City but this is a player that at least I did hear what he had to say and I think he would be a good acquisition for Kaizer Chiefs.”
