Ditlhokwe opens up on Amakhosi move

“One thing I can tell, I’m a captain of my national team; I’m a player for my national team. I captained my national team at the age of 21. So I don’t think there’s any pressure that can come more than what I’ve already passed through.” the Kaizer Chiefs-bound defender told iDiskiTimes.

“That is one thing you must consider. It’s a normal challenge that every player must face. For you to grow, you must have challenges. There’s no player that can grow without challenges. You need to be tested, so it’s a big test, I know.

“But at the end of the day, the same way I’ve managed [until now] is the same way I have will manage.”
