Loftus Versfeld
Since when has Loftus Versfeld been one of Kaizer Chiefs' grounds? The Chiefs are from Jo'burg and Loftus Versfeld is in Pretoria, so how does that even work? – PeeJay 15:53, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

It is because Vodacom had shares in Loftus and are main sponsors for both Blue Bulls and Kaizer Chiefs. During that time FNB was not available due to renovations. Since anywhere in the country is home to Kaizer Chiefs, the sponsors chose Loftus as home ground for Kaizer Chiefs. It was pointless to rent the stadium while the sponsors had shares in other stadium. And that was the right decision because the average attendance at the stadium was over 25000164.151.129.211 (talk) 12:38, 26 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.151.129.211 (talk) 12:36, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Lucas Radebe
"Kaiser Chiefs, a British indie/britpop band, was named after the club because Nyiko Mathebula, a former player of Kaizer Chiefs, captained Leeds United, the team they all supported."Italic text

I'd question this statement. I can definitely remember either seeing or else hearing the Kaiser Chiefs interviewed and they specifically said that they picked the name because Lucas Radebe was their favorite player. Correct story wrong player. Sorry I can't prove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.224.148 (talk) 17:16, 7 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Somebody has been fiddling with this article. Yes, the Brit band did take the name because of Lucas Radebe, who was the Leeds United captain. If you have notcied the name Nyiko Mathebula has been inserted in a number of positions within the article - Executive Chairman, Coach, Football Manager and even as a player - where in fact said person is completely unrelated to the club.

 * I cleaned up what I could and found a link that confirms that the Brit band Kaiser Chiefs took there name from the club because of Lucas Radebe. Thesmartstag (talk) 07:08, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

The false information used by some users on wikipedia
I'm not trying to be better or sound uncool but I have lost full faith on information by wikipedia because of information we see on Wikipedia, the platform has lost it credibility and everything on this platform has raised eyebrows so some institutions wich can no longer trust information sourced at this platform, people edit proper articles and put false information.
