From battling for results Kaizer Chiefs are on something of a roll, and it is the performance of players such as exciting winger Kgaogelo Sekgota the provider and Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana the finisher who have coach Arthur Zwane optimistic his team is on the right path.
“Sekgota has improved tremendously because he’s coachable. He’s one player who wants to learn new things, wants to know, ‘Coach, am I doing the right thing?’.“He’s one of our key players this season. Last season he was more of an impact player but when you look at him now he can play 90 minutes.”
Fighting back from a goal down, as Chiefs had to after Nhlanha Mgaga’s 29th-minute opener, is not easy against a tight outfit such as Stellenbosch and it shows a growing level of character in Zwane’s Amakhosi. Three goals came from penalties, of which the first seemed softly awarded, but Chiefs also dominated play.
Zwane said Bimenyimana — whose successful spot-kicks came four minutes into first-half injury time and in the 49th and 56th minutes — was replaced by Nkosingiphile Ngcobo in the 59th because the Burundian had picked up a yellow card. “By nature he’s aggressive and when you keep him on the field anything can happen. He’d already scored three goals so what more could we expect from him, and we needed him for the next game.”
Chiefs have almost a week to further tighten up their gameplan ahead of their league meeting against 11th-placed Chippa United at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday .
