“It is a place where I have won a lot of games and have beautiful memories.” Sekhukhune United attacker Sibusiso Vilakazi told Goal.

“Maybe we can say ‘Vila is coming back home’, but put that aside, we are just going into a cup final with my teammates and I hope we win it against Orlando Pirates.

“Not just for ourselves but we want to be known as a team that can win trophies and we can build from that going forward.

“Don’t play the crowd but play the cup. That’s the most important thing on the day, we have to play to win.”

“One thing I can tell, I’m a captain of my national team, I’m a player for my national team. I’ve 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.”
