Amakhosi’s win against TS Galaxy stretched their unbeaten run to four consecutive matches, a first for them this season, while also boosting their chances of securing a CAF Confederation Cup place.

The run reflects growing confidence at a critical juncture of the Betway Premiership season, but Kaze insists there is still work to be done.

Kaizer Chiefs are only competing in the Betway Premiership till the end of the season. They missed out on a chance to defend their Nedbank Cup title after losing to Stellenbosch FC in the Round of 32, and also lost to the same team in the Carling Knockout Cup.
