Ditlhokwe has spoken briefly about how he will handle the pressure of joining Amakhosi

“One thing I can tell you, I can tell you that I’m a captain for the national team[Botswana]. I’m a player for the national team,” he stated when asked about the pressures of playing for the Soweto giants.

“I captained my national team at the age of 21, so I don’t think there is any pressure which can come more than I have already passed through.

“It’s just a normal challenge that every player can face. That’s why I said, for you to grow, you must be challenged. There is no player that has grown without being challenged.

“It’s a big test, I know, but the same way I managed here is the same way I’ll manage (at Chiefs)”.
