Moseamedi has terrorized Chiefs defenders during recent seasons.

He also played a key role in Stellenbosch’s victory over Kaizer Chiefs last season after assisting Deano Van Rooyen for the winning goal.

Moseamedi will however be in action today, in ANGOLA when Helman Mkhalele’s Bafana Bafana CHAN side face their hosts.

Chiefs have endured a difficult start in the DStv Premiership, picking up just six points from their opening five matches. They’ll be looking for a strong cup performance this afternoon.

There’s a long journey ahead! – Zwane

“We have a long way to go from where we want to be.” Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane told the club’s website.

“We are getting closer in terms of our tactical discipline and our game approach.

“Players know their responsibilities and we’re working on our chemistry in the final third, which is something that is lacking.

“When you look at how many times we had box entries in our last game, I don’t think it was enough in comparison to how many we had against Maritzburg.

“We were on the right track until we lost two players and had to start all over again. Kaizer Chiefs need to get the best eleven out onto the field.

“In terms of understanding so we can work on it and perfect it and we had to then reshuffle things. You want to do that while you’re grinding out results, but we have that belief.”
