"The work ethic has been extremely pleasing and the players are looking sharp and good," said Mokwena.

IOL reports that part of the pre-season objective and goal, according to Rulani Mokwena, was to prepare the team to be a "nightmare" for opponents in the next season.

"We want to create a team that is a nightmare to play against. A team that can hurt opponents in different ways, and we have got to create a culture for that," he said.

The new season begins for Mamelodi Sundowns on Sunday at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, where they will face Kaizer Chiefs in an MTN8 quarter-final match.

According to Billiat, his performances with the club are not good enough and he wants to do much better. In 2018, the Zimbabwean attacker signed Amakhosi from Mamelodi Sundowns, ending a five-year relationship with his former club.

He appeared in 99 games for Masandawana, scoring 39 goals. Billiat has since made 84 appearances for Kaizer Chiefs and has scored 16 goals, something he is not very impressed with according to Goal.
