Amakhosi’s time to deliver as Sea Robbers seek Cup record

KAIZER Chiefs assistant coach Cedric Kaze says it’s time for Amakhosi to deliver, as they prepare to face Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup final at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday at 3:30 pm.

The final marks Chiefs’ first domestic cup final appearance in six years. Pirates, on the other hand, are chasing a historic third consecutive Nedbank Cup title under head coach José Riveiro.

With silverware on the line, pressure is mounting on both benches — but particularly on Chiefs’, who are desperate to end their long-standing trophy drought.

Kaze, speaking ahead of the clash, used a vivid analogy to describe the team’s long and difficult campaign.

“We understand very well the frustrations of the fans and we share those frustrations as well,” he said.

“But coming into this game... I’m pretty sure, ladies will agree with me, you have been struggling nine months of pregnancy, now it’s time to deliver.”
