Kaizer Chiefs coach Cavin Johnson says the club is not in a position to throw in youngsters from their development programme.
Exciting teenager Mfundo Vilakazi was promoted to the first team this month having impressed in the DStv Diski Challenge.
Johnson though has not promoted many of the young Chiefs players to the first-team.
“It’s not that we don’t believe in them but , nine years is a long time [without winning a trophy]. For them to maintain [the culture of the club], it’s a difficult task.
“But I do believe the ones we have are more than capable doing something. We only need that run of the luck and I always say ‘we will rise, we will rise’,” said the Kaizer Chiefs coach.
