Former Kaizer Chiefs forward Kingston Nkhatha has opened up that jeers from Amakhosi fans almost forced him to give up on football.
The 34-year-old endured a thorny relationship with Chiefs fans especially in his final year at Naturena.
Ex-Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter would insist on starting Nkhatha despite his struggle for goals which apparently incensed a section of Chiefs' supporters.

Nkhatha has disclosed that he almost walked away from football because of the booing, but Baxter and his teammates encouraged him to play on.
“It was difficult at first, but with the help of the players and the technical team, especially coach Stuart, I healed,” Nkhatha told Sowetan Live.
