Kaizer Chiefs teenage prodigy Mfundo Vilakazi is relishing the chance to get another opportunity to showcase his talent when they take on Moroka Swallows on Saturday.

‘Obrigado’ as he affectionately known, made his senior debut for Amakhosi when he came off the bench to replace Nkosingiphile Ngcobo in the defeat to Milford FC in the Nedbank Cup.

The Glamour Boys are looking to bounce back when they take on Swallows at the FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

After tasting his first game in the senior team, Vilakazi is confident he will get the opportunity to stretch his legs again and help Amakhosi get a positive result against Swallows.

“I was very excited and happy to make my debut. Personally, I think I did ok for my first game. I didn’t give the ball away too much, but we are all disappointed with the result,” Vilakazi told his club’s official website.

“I am really grateful to be at a Club like Kaizer Chiefs. I am learning every day.

“There are many senior players who teach me how to conduct myself as a Kaizer Chiefs player, both on and off the field. They give me advice to help me become a better player and keep improving.

“Swallows have had their challenges recently. They have quite a number of new players and coaching staff, so I don’t know how they are preparing for this game. I think we must take advantage of this situation and beat them on Saturday.

“My friends and family are very happy for me and it motivates me to make them proud of me when I get minutes for the first team.

“I would love to see all our fans come and support us on Saturday. We will make you happy. Amakhosi 4 Life!” he concluded.
