Kaizer Chiefs Captain Yusuf Maart Talks About Handling Fan Criticism

- The midfielder reveals he doesn’t understand why fans single him out despite his dedication to being a key player for the Amakhosi squad.
- Local football fans have chimed in on social media, offering both support and critique for the 29-year-old star.
Listen, let me tell you about Kaizer Chiefs’ midfielder and captain, Yusuf Maart. This guy’s been dealing with some tough love from fans online, but he’s not letting it get to him. Maart has decided to stay away from social media to keep his head in the game and avoid the negativity. It’s a smart move, right? Who needs all that drama when you’re trying to focus on your craft?
Now, here’s the thing: Maart, the 29-year-old skipper of the Amakhosi, has been under fire from some fans who don’t seem to appreciate his contributions. But the guy is committed—like, really committed—to making a difference for the Soweto giants. He’s out there every day, busting his tail for the team, and yet some people just can’t seem to see it.
But guess what? Despite the naysayers, the Kaizer Chiefs management team absolutely loves Maart. They value him so much that they’re even considering offering him a brand-new contract. That’s a pretty big vote of confidence, wouldn’t you say?

Maart’s Secret Weapon: Ignoring the Noise
So how does Maart deal with all the online chatter? Well, he’s got a pretty solid strategy. Check out what he had to say about it in a recent tweet:
According to FARPost, Maart is determined to prove himself under the leadership of new coach Nasreddine Nabi. Nabi’s all about rewarding hard work, and Maart is ready to step up and show what he’s made of.
Here’s what Maart had to say:
“At the end of the day, reading those comments would just hurt your feelings, and you’re only human. I just don’t go there [on social media], so honestly, I don’t even know what’s being said. And that’s okay with me.”
Fans Weigh In on Maart’s Performance
The fans, of course, have been chiming in on social media. Some are rallying behind Maart, telling him to ignore the negativity, while others think he needs to step it up on the field. It’s a mixed bag, but let’s break it down:
Take Ma Fiah, for example. This supporter had some words of encouragement for Maart:
“Don’t let those negative words steal your shine. Keep pushing forward!”
On the flip side, Luzuko Nkwenye had a different take. He fired back at the critics:

“Don’t waste your time on those people. They don’t know anything about football except talking nonsense.”
Then there’s Wandile Oscar Nhlabatsi, who offered a more balanced perspective. He believes the criticism isn’t coming from a bad place:
“They’re not tearing you down because they hate you. They’re just trying to push you to be better because they see the potential in you.”
And of course, not everyone is a fan. Ontuetse T Pheko, for one, appreciates Maart’s approach:
“Good for you. Just keep doing your thing and don’t let anything distract you.”
But Hlanganan Cologne Ngetho Zwane wasn’t as supportive. He bluntly stated:
“You’re not cut out for Kaizer Chiefs. Maybe it’s time to move on.”
A New Era Under Coach Nabi
Meanwhile, there’s a fresh energy at Kaizer Chiefs thanks to new coach Nasreddine Nabi. As Briefly News reported, goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma says Nabi’s arrival has brought a “new experience” to the club. The Bafana Bafana shot-stopper explained that Nabi and his staff have completely shifted the team’s mindset. Now, every match feels like a championship game, and that’s exactly the attitude they need to succeed.
So, as the team moves forward under Nabi’s leadership, Maart and his teammates are ready to embrace the challenge. The future looks bright for the Amakhosi, and if Maart keeps his focus where it matters, he could be a big part of their success.
