Johannesburg-Gauteng police has allegedly arrested Kaizer Chiefs well-known soccer star after he was implicated in hijacking.
Two days ago, one of vehicles hijacked in Johannesburg CBD was found at his parking lot.
The player,23, was arrested along with his accomplice.
Our source confirmed that during arrest, two suspects were allegedly wearing the player’s official Kaizer Chiefs attaire.
They were arrested and will appear in court soon.
However Kaizer Chiefs communication Manager Alpheus Vina Maphosa vehemently denies the allegations and said he knows nothing about the incident.
“It is so the very first time I heard this from you. From where we stand, no Kaizer Chiefs player has been arrested” Maphosa said.
Gauteng police spokesperson Lungelo Dlamini could not confirm the incident as his phone rang unanswered.
According to reports, the suspects who were arrested along with the player were allegedly involved in a hijack that was caught on camera in JHB CBD weeks ago.-TDN

Khuzwayo’s agent Tim Zukazi confirmed that the hijacked car was found by police in his client’s parking bay.Zukazi told eNCA.com that the police questioned Khuzwayo but he hasn’t released a formal statement to the public.”Brilliant Khuzwayo spoke to the police, he didn’t give a statement,” Zukazi.Police spokesman Lungelo Dlamini said the vehicle was found in Meredale, south of Johannesburg.Chiefs spokesman Vina Maphosa confirmed that this is where the player lives.Maphosa told eNCA.com yesterday that the player cooperated fully with police.“The player stays in a complex. To be clear, it (the vehicle) was not found in his driveway as earlier reports suggested. It was found in his allotted parking bay.”Asked about the player’s state of mind, Maphosa said he was “calm, co-operative but disappointed”.“As a club we are (also) disappointed to have our name mixed up in this horrendous crime.”Maphosa said the player had not communicated a desire to take further action against those who parked the stolen vehicle in his parking bay. “That (whether the player will take legal action) will be his private matter.”The car in found at the goalkeeper’s home, was the same Toyota Rav 4 that appeared in a video of a hijacking, which took happened in the Johannesburg CBD earlier this month.Khuzwayo was in Botswana at the time the vehicle was tracked.Fans are now questioning if this was a set up.Maureen Tinnybell Sithole responded on the Chiefs Facebook page saying: “Let us hope that is a set up guys or otherwise…”Elnino El Emmanuel Raphasha echoed similar sentiments, “Its all a set up guys, don’t think our player can steal a Toyota Rav 4. These guys, they are paid good money, they can afford big cars

Thank you Motlhabi, this was reported after we reported that the player has been arrested. So we received the same information after we called Lit. Lungelo Dlamini for clarification on the matter. He said the player was released after being questioned and the investigations continue.
Yes our source is dangerous because he gives us factual stories that is why they called sources in the first place. Keep reading your number one newspaper Taung DailyNews for more breaking stories.
With us, you hear it first.
Great evening!!!!
