Johnson: Elections & SASSA money are to blame

Club legend Itumeleng Khune is receives a Guard of Honour before Kaizer Chiefs ' DStv Premiership match against Polokwane City.Head coach Cavin Johnson has strangely cited the upcoming national elections as partly to blame for Kaizer Chiefs supporters' embarrassingly low turnout to honour club legend Itumeleng Khune on Saturday.

But the anti-climatic display was perhaps fitting for a Chiefs side boasting undeniable quality in players, yet looks set to end what will go down as one of their worst seasons in the PSL era.Speaking at the post-match press conference after the match, Johnson explained why he believes the national elections could be to blame for the poor turnout.

"If we never had that, I'm sure if they had found that Itu was being honoured, our supporters would have been here much more.
