Nabi spoke to Amakhosi fans in the video below:

According to DiskiAfrika, Nabi said his priority is to build a strong team, including a new striker, who could be Kenyan star Michael Olungo.

Nabi said:

"For myself, it is necessary to first build a strong team. You cannot go from tenth to say that now we must talk about winning cups and the league; it does not work like that. I want to be realistic because I respect the club and the fans. I must take it step by step to build a strong team. We will work hard and have big energy, I will give 200%, but I know which direction I will go, and I am not afraid of the challenge."
