And so, while all Kaizer Chiefs fans anticipate a smooth passage to the next round of the Carling Knockout Cup, the Amakhosi co-coach preaches caution.

“It’s unfortunate that the history of the last fixtures that Kaizer Chiefs won against Stellenbosch (FC) is not going to be of any help in this game,’ Kaze said ahead of Sunday’s first-round clash against the inaugural winners of the domestic league cup.

Temporarily in charge of Chiefs alongside Youssef Ben Khalil while the club continues to resolve issues with coach Nasredinne Nabi, Kaze says the team is intent on winning the Carling Knockout. But he knows just how tricky the clash with a Stellenbosch side that has seemingly forgotten how to win is going to be.
