That is crucial at a club like Chiefs

Let's start with Kaizer Chiefs.

- Itumeleng Khune

There’s been a lot of noise around the club, but I think what we saw in the Toyota Cup gives us something to build on. I know people always want instant results, I've seen it all in my years, but when you bring in players with pedigree, players who know how to win, you're laying the right foundation.

When you talk about Paseka Mako and when you talk about Thabiso Monyane, you're talking about guys who come in with a champion's mindset. They've both lifted trophies with Orlando Pirates. They understand what it takes to go all the way, and that’s something you can’t teach overnight, it’s something that’s built over time in dressing rooms, in tough away games, and in big finals. Their presence at Naturena will lift the standard. You can see already how they carry themselves on the pitch, there's confidence, there's discipline, and there’s a sense of urgency. That rubs off on the rest of the squad. Mako’s versatility is a big plus. He can slot in comfortably on the left or in central defence if needed. Monyane, on the other hand, gives you that grit and energy down the right. These are not guys who are here to find their feet, they're here to win.
