When asked his thoughts regarding the Amakhosi’s readiness for the game in the wake of Giovanni Solinas taking over the reins, the former SuperSport United mentor said that despite having a new coach, Chiefs will vie for honours this season.

‘I don’t think they will be vulnerable at all,’ he told the media ahead of the Chiefs clash.

‘They have Billiat, who is very dangerous when play breaks and there’s a turnover of possession.

‘I don’t believe in this thing that there is a right time for this and that. They will compete. They are the biggest team in South Africa.

‘And they have players who have won trophies before, and have all that experience to help them do well.
