WHY HE’S CALLED NYAOPE

So what can fans expect from the former SuperSport United and AmaTuks attacker

The best way to describe him is ‘creativity and flair.’ Mahlatsi is presumably nicknamed ‘Nyoape’ for his close ball control, dribbling and gliding past defenders in a manner that seems slow and fast at the same time.

Coach Arthur Zwane could either use him as a number 10, 8, or as an inverted 7 or 11.

Meanwhile, the injury setback is likely to see Mahlatsi kickstart his Amakhosi career later than his fellow new faces.

So Kaizer Chiefs found it needless to report this. New Amakhosi star Kamohelo Mahlatsi has missed a chunk of pre-season due to injury.
