Chiefs and Pirates legends to battle it out in Malamulele

Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs legends are set to grace Malamulele, Limpopo for the Tonic Chabalala annual games.

This will be the third edition hosted by the former Pirates captain in his home province. The 44-year-old invites Stars from the two PSL giants for an exhibition match.

This year will not be any different as Chabalala, through his foundation, will welcome the legends starting with a Gala Dinner.

There will also be local teams who will compete in a four-team tournament on Saturday and Sunday.

“We decided to start a tournament for the open [age] but on condition that five youngsters are on the pitch,” he told FARPost.

“I have also invited scouts to come and witness and identify talent. So my aim is also to see these boys scouted by different clubs around the country.
