They have to get hold of Chiefs if they are serious about signing Khama. It is up to the two teams (if they agree or not). I will just wait,\u201d Ngobeni told IOL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe is happy there. He did well in his first season with Chiefs. Whatever comes we will see. There\u2019s no pressure for Khama to go. They love him at Chiefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe management loves him, fans love him and his teammates also love him. What difference will it make if he leaves?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChiefs is bigger than Casablanca. They phoned and approached me but I told them to go and talk to his employers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The player\u2019s manager also went on to disclose Egyptian football heavyweights, Zamalek and Al Ahly, are also interested in the 28-year-old attacker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe wants to win something with Chiefs. Al Ahly and Zamalek have also enquired. He did well at the AFCON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cObviously, there will be enquiries but they have to phone Chiefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo one has come to me with an offer, it all been enquiries. I\u2019m just waiting. It is not the deal that I need to check. The player is still happy at Chiefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI can\u2019t put pressure on Chiefs. Khama is still happy there. If he was not happy then I would put pressure.\u2019\u2019\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WARRIORS team manager Wellington Mpandare has cleared the air over the altercation in camp that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[32,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport","category-trends"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Mpandare.jpg?fit=300%2C168&ssl=1","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1164"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1166,"href":"https:\/\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164\/revisions\/1166"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.zanupfpatriots.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
