ZWANE – ‘WE BELIEVE IN OURSELEVES’

“We are part of a Club with a great history which is about winning. We know very well that we have to win games and we have to win trophies,” Zwane told Kaizer Chiefs website.

“I wouldn’t be here as a coach if I had doubts that we’ll win trophies or that I would bring in players that didn’t have the character to play for a Club of Kaizer Chiefs’ stature.

“Once we get to the semi-final, we know we are expected to go all the way to the final. Also, we know that this is the right time for the new players to understand what Kaizer Chiefs is all about.
