CHIEFS AIM FOR REDEMPTION IN TOYOTA CUP

ZITHA Kwinika says the Kaizer Chiefs faithful must expect a highly-improved team from the one they witnessed last season when Amakhosi take on Asante Kotoko in the Toyota Cup at the weekend.

Highly disappointing until they won the Nedbank Cup, Chiefs had a rather forgetful league campaign that sees them missing out on participation in the MTN8 for a second season running.

But they are intent on exciting their die-hard followers as early as Saturday at Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium when they host the onetime Ghanaian giants to set the scene for what is to come.

Smashed 4-0 by Tanzania's Young Africans last year, Amakhosi are eager to ensure the trophy remains home this time around. And defender Kwinika believes their preseason tour of the Netherlands has helped turn them into an improved lot.

“The supporters must expect a different us in the Toyota Cup,” he said in an interview with the club's media department.
