Sikwane captures Khumalo's rise in compelling book

“The inspiration to write this book comes as a consequence of my affinity to Kaizer Chiefs. I grew up during CCV TV. We watched Kaizer Chiefs, it was the most successful club, winning everything and Doctor Khumalo was second only to Chris Hani in terms of popularity, with Nelson Mandela in Robben Island prison,” said Sikwane. He said he was motivated by Khumalo’s popularity as he had “never seen such a powerful and influential player, and brand”.

“Even here in Botswana, he was big. I was further attracted to him by his ability to lure multinationals to his brand as brand ambassador for BMW, Puma, SportPesa, Debonairs, MTN and many others. That for me was enough inspiration and I wanted to chronicle this journey for generations to look back on, to understand the genius Doctor Khumalo was.”
