Chiefs don't only just stand for winning on the field, says Jessica

When Kaizer Chiefs said they had an "important" announcement to make on Thursday, many anticipated they were going to confirm they'd really signed Given Msimango and Mduduzi Mdantsane after rife speculations about their arrival for the new season.

However, Amakhosi announced they had extended their partnership with Medshield medical scheme for three more years. While this is likely to demoralise their fan base, who at times have accused the club of prioritising the commercial side of things over the side's performance on the pitch amid the prolonged trophy drought, marketing director Jessica Motaung emphasised the Chiefs brand wasn't only about winning on the pitch.

"I think the brand doesn't only just stand for winning on the field...I think we are an excellent business. We stand for excellence on and off the field,'' Motaung said.
