JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA — 6 NOVEMBER 2026

A fascinating story from Kaizer Chiefs’ history has emerged after former Amakhosi fitness coach Elsa Storm recalled an unforgettable training experience involving the club’s current Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr.

Storm, who worked with some of the biggest personalities in South African football, revealed how Motaung Jr demonstrated extraordinary determination during a demanding training session under former Chiefs coach Muhsin Ertugral.

According to Storm, Ertugral had a reputation for pushing players physically and mentally, with running forming a significant part of his demanding training methods.

She explained that running was not always about preparing players for matches but could also be used as punishment within the coach’s training environment.

“In Muhsin’s world, running for the sake of running meant punishment. And there we were, just running,” Storm recalled in a piece published on Algo Sports.

However, the situation took an unexpected turn when the weather conditions became increasingly dangerous.

Storm explained that heavy rain and lightning struck while the players were still running. Concerned about their safety, she decided that continuing the session was no longer worth the risk.

She subsequently encouraged the players to find shelter, but Motaung Jr’s response left her with a memory she would never forget.

“There was lightning and pouring rain. I told the guys it was getting dangerous and we should find shelter. Kaizer Junior stopped, his face soaking wet,” she explained.

Storm then revealed the extraordinary words Motaung Jr directed at her.

“Els, we will rather get killed here together by lightning than telling that coach we not running.”

The statement perfectly captured the intense atmosphere surrounding Ertugral’s training sessions and the level of commitment expected from those working within the team.

Motaung Jr has since progressed into an important administrative position at Kaizer Chiefs, where he serves as Sporting Director and plays a role in shaping the club’s football direction.

For Amakhosi supporters, Storm’s revelation offers an interesting glimpse into the club’s history and the personalities who experienced its demanding football culture.

Her story also highlights the lasting influence of Ertugral, whose methods clearly left a strong impression on players and staff.

While the incident is certainly amusing in retrospect, Storm’s concern about lightning also highlights an important point: player safety must always come before training demands.
