In a league where goals are hard to come by, it is refreshing to have a player who can consistently find the back of the net and Kaizer Chiefs are the lucky team. In their striker Knowledge Musona, Amakhosi have the best striker in the league at the moment, he is indeed the real deal.

It’s too early to say whether Musona will end this season as the top goalscorer in the PSL but there is a strong possibility, that’s if he can manage to keep his form and avoid injuries. He is a joy to watch, not only when he bangs those goals in, but his movement off the ball, his pace, his skill as well as his positioning is the stuff of legends. Musona has the ability to destroy defences single-handedly on his day, he is deadly.

It is a pity that in South Africa we are still struggling to produce players of Musona’s magnitude, deadly strikers who can find the back of the net almost every game. Bafana Bafana would have done with a Musona and Pitso would have fewer headaches about his striking force.

With the good team that Kaizer Chiefs have, Musona can only get better. It helps that his coach believes in the passing game and pace, which suits Musona perfectly. There is still room for improvement though, the boy needs to sharpen his finishing, it’s not bad but it can still improve.

At the rate he is going, I won’t be surprised to see him earning a lucrative overseas deal soon, but for now let us just enjoy watching him rip PSL teams’ defences apart.
