Kaizer Chiefs welcomed a special visitor from abroad at Naturena in Soweto.

Motaung Snr hosted Derrick Moite, a childhood fan of the Chiefs chairman’s former team in the United States of America, the Atlanta Chiefs.

Moite handed over what Amakhosi described as a “specially commissioned painting” to Motaung, a representation of the chairman's history with both Atlanta and Chiefs.

The visitor explained the importance of the painting during the handover.

“I wanted to do something for the chairman that would link his past with Atlanta Chiefs and his present team together,” he said, as per the Kaizer Chiefs official website.

“So, I got a friend of mine in Ghana to do this artwork which symbolizes the chairman’s past at Atlanta Chiefs, and what he has built at Kaizer Chiefs.

“At Atlanta United, I had Ghanaian teammates as well. So, there is a Ghanaian link with the team which adds to the symbolism of this gesture. I am very grateful to Derrick for honouring me in this way,” the Chiefs chairman added.

And one of Moite’s goals is to see the Soweto giants play against the current Major League Soccer side, Atlanta United.

“I will work to get a game together between Kaizer Chiefs and United. I have worked over the last many years to get the sports community in Atlanta to recognize the past achievements of Atlanta Chiefs. A match between Kaizer Chiefs and Atlanta Chiefs will help this, thanks to the chairman, that through Kaizer Chiefs, Atlanta Chiefs has lived on in a way,” added Moite.

In his final words to Moite, Motaung thanked his guest.

“I thank Derrick for archiving and keeping all of these important elements of my history and Atlanta Chiefs’ history. I had great memories in Atlanta and those are very important to me.”
