Chiefs face Al Ahly in Morocco on Saturday looking to lift their first-ever Champions League crown against their much-favoured opponents in Pitso Mosimane’s Al Ahly side.
With a dark cloud currently over South Africa due to massive issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, unrest and looting, Mthwethwa has asked Chiefs to bring back hope to the country with victory in the final.
