Moshikaro Moagi, a die-hard Kaizer Chiefs fan, trended online after he swore to walk from Johannesburg to Tzaneen if his team lost to Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium last Saturday.

Moagi was pictured on TV with a sign that read: ‘If Sundowns beat us tonight, I will walk from JHB to Tzaneen’, causing him to trend on the popular social media site X.

Unfortunately, for him, Sundowns smashed Amakhosi 4-0, knocking them out of the Carling Black Label Cup.

Moagi told the Letaba Herald he was adamant that Chiefs would win since they had been playing good football from the beginning of the season.

“I left the stadium before the game could end because I saw that there was no way we could come back after a 4-0 gap. I walked from the stadium, and I made sure I updated everyone on social media about my whereabouts. I left Johannesburg at 19:10 and arrived home [in Tzaneen] at 10:00 the next day,” he said.

Despite his insistence that he walked to Tzaneen, people on social media called him out about his claim, saying it is impossible to walk roughly 420km in 15 hours – he would have had to walk at an average speed of 28km/h.

In comparison, Kenyan marathon king and Olympics champion Eliud Kipchoge ran an average speed of 21.02km/h in the 42.2km Berlin Marathon in 2022 – setting a world record.

So vele that Chiefs fam really walked to Tzaneen from FNB? 😭

Moagi admitted to the Herald there were times he accepted a lift in areas that felt unsafe.

He often went live to update those keeping track of him, especially when he reached toll gates and convenience stores, and when he arrived in Boyne, outside Polokwane.

He said he was treated to a foot massage by his wife, Mamikie, when he arrived home and that he rested the entire day after the long journey.

The superfan, who is from Lenyenye, says his love for Chiefs dates back to 1992 when players such as Lucas Radebe and Doctor Khumalo were part of the team.

He has many titles to his name, including the current provincial secretary of the Kaizer Chiefs Fan Club, the ANC Ward 33 branch secretary, and building inspector at the Greater Tzaneen Municipality.

On Wednesday, Moagi posted that should President-elect Donald Trump lose the elections in the US, he would walk from Tzaneen to America, a feat he said would only take him a month.

He concluded by stating that he believes Amakhosi will win one silverware this season.
