The KwaZulu-Natal side climbed into the top eight of the Betway Premiership for the first time this season after a statement week that included a famous win over defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns and a 3-0 triumph against Orbit College at the King Zwelithini Stadium on Saturday.

“I said it at the start that I’m building a team to compete for every trophy and not a team that makes the top eight or fights relegation. We are on the right track, but we mustn't get carried away,” Mngqithi said.

“Everyone looks at the teams that are built with budgets as favourites for trophies, but I have always believed you have to have an eye for details and be obsessed with the job at hand, and that reflects in game moments.”
