Taking the essence of passion from the football pitch to the palate – Wrote Kaizer Chiefs on their website as they announced their bold new venture into the culinary world with the debut of their first-ever snack range on Monday 2 October.
“Our vision was clear – to deliver a snack range that embodies the boldness and vibrancy of the Kaizer Chiefs brand,” says Kaizer Chiefs Marketing and Commercial Director, Jessica Motaung. “With these explosive flavours, we invite fans everywhere to get #Khosified and truly Fuel Your Passion,” read a statement.

Look Rob, if you're driving to Cape Town & there is traffic on the N1, you take the N12. If there is traffic on N12, you can offramp on the N8, but be careful you don't end up in Windhoek.
I hope you understand👍@robertmarawa pic.twitter.com/ox9sieB9rt
