Motaung appeared in court on Thursday and was granted a R50.000 bail, this did not sit well with football fans as they were outside the court room protesting and accusing Bobby of the death of Jimmy Mahlala a former Mbombela municipal speaker.
KAIZER CHIEFS' BOBBY
 |
| Bobby Motaung, Kaizer chiefs boss(supersport.com) |
Kaizer chiefs released a statement saying that the club had no knowledge of Bobbys involvement in the building of the Mbombela stadium and that this is a personal matter and the team will not be involved in any way as this does not affect the team in any way.
As much as the club feels that this is a personal matter that wont have an effect on the team, I feel that this whole Bobby scandal will affect the team in the following way:
- The clubs image will be damaged as Bobby is the face of kaizer chiefs and anything he does goes back to the team
- Such bad publicity is not good for the team
- Kaizer chiefs is a brand and it gets affected if any of its members get bad publicity expecially the ones in the public eye
- Fans might start questioning the entire senior management of Kaizer Chiefs
Fraud in football seem to have become a serious problem, and if Bobby is to be acquitted of the fraud charges and reinstated as Kaizer Chiefs C.E.O, Kaizer Chiefs might loose some fans and people might see kaizer chiefs as an organisatiion that welcomes fraud.
i heard about this yesterday on radio Yfm... Bobby Motaung has disappointed and let a lot of people down for him to get involved in this mess FRAUD is a serious issue and you right Kazier Chiefs image will be damaged,"there is no such thing as bad publicity" they must just strategize a new face lift to aviod being bad mouthed
ReplyDeleteThe kaizer chiefs management need to act fast, because their inage is already damaged.
DeleteSerious damage control needs to be done. Kaizer Chiefs' image is also affected whether they like it or not.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that fraud has a short term goal and long term harm,Bobby he should have not been given a bail for what he did,only life sentence suitable for him. He was supposed to rot in jail.
ReplyDeletemany people confuse the arrest bobby motaung with a kaizer chiefs matter chiefs was not involved in this yes he works for chiefs but the construction compony that is involved in this saga is not run by kaizer chiefs but bobby and his partners
ReplyDeleteTsholo it indirectly affects Kaizer Chiefs,because Bobby is the head of chiefs, so the media will make it their aim to link this saga with Kaizer Chiefs and in the process damaging the image and brand of Kaizer Chiefs.
DeleteDespite being a Khosi fan,this matter is about Bobby and his partners not the team.Bobby's private businesses has nothing to do with team an being granted a bail is not a mistake by the court.We are living in a democratic country,and you are not guilty till you have been proven guilty.
ReplyDeleteVogani guilty or not, the damage has being done already. The teams image and brand are already associated with Bobby and the team.
Deleteif the kaizer chief's statement says "it wont affect the team" they're just kidding and they are not serious.As you are saying that Motaung is a face of the club, thats means everything he does,the media will mention the team, which might result in bad/good perseption.
ReplyDeletein this regard, chiefs might suffera alot as you mentioned that mpumalanga residents are now accusing him for killing jimmy mohlala.
we all know that in a team there is no such thing of individuality,this evntually will affect the team the statement issued by KCF confusse themselves because we know who is the KCF manager, this apply a face of KCF as a whole,however this scandal we live it to court to judge because it may turn as defarmation of charater to Bobby.
ReplyDeleteBobby's drama will affect the team, remember is the manager. Will he cope on his duties while there is an outstanding case firing.
ReplyDeletethis will create bad bublicity on the team and it'll definately have an effect as well.
ReplyDeleteIndeed this kind of bad publicity by a lead brand ambassoder is very bad for the whole entire team's image. Whether they believe it or not, they will slowly lose fans/supporters in a long run. Even though Kaizer Chiefs is "a family business" according to him, he is terrorizing it and I feel that they must let him go before he messes up even more...he is not disciplined
ReplyDeleteyes good one that this corruptbosses are being taught their lessons.I think this is a case of working as a fimaly not considering work ethics.
ReplyDeleteIt is going to take a lot of money and a lot of good publicity to get Bobby Motaung back on the good books of soccer lovers and the general public of South Africa. I personally think he should be delt with and made to face his music.
