Kaizer Chiefs marketing manager Jessica Motaung has confirmed the club is in the process of discussing the future of veteran midfielder George Maluleka.

The 31-year-old recently signed a pre-contract with rivals Mamelodi Sundowns after entering the last six months of his contract with the Soweto giants.

However, Motaung has since confirmed that a decision has been taken on whether or not Maluleka will stay at Amakhosi until the end of the season.

‘The future of George with the club is being addressed with the coach and the technical team and in due course, it will be very clear,’ Motaung told the media.

‘George made his decision on his own. The conclusion of whether he stays or not for the last six months and timelines of it is what we have to look at, but he has made his decision and we wish him well with Sundowns,’ she said.

Motaung added that the club’s main focus right now is to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic in the country.

‘The issue right now is that we are dealing with this coronavirus thing for the whole team and the staff. For now, we have just moved on at such speed with this abnormal situation of coronavirus and the George scenario has been reduced in terms of amplification,’ she added.

‘I can’t even focus on George. Right now, our focus is making sure that everyone is safe and fit; that is the most important thing for us right now,’ added Motaung.

‘The coronavirus has certainly changed a lot of things for all of us; it has changed our lives as people. Just look at how it has changed our schooling and many other aspects of our daily lives.’
