Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Willard Katsande believes his side still has a firm grip on the Absa Premiership title ahead of the season restart.

The Glamour Boys were occupying top spot in the league standings before the 2019-20 season was suspended due to coronavirus pandemic.

Amakhosi accumulated a total 48 points from 22 games played so far this season after claiming 15 wins, three draws and four defeats.

However, the Premier Soccer League can resume its season after the league’s Covid-19 mitigation strategy was approved by the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Mr Nathi Mthethwa.

Katsande, who has already made 20 appearances across all competitions, believes his side have control of the final outcome of the league with just eight games left to play in the current season.

‘Focusing on your path – I think that’s the most important thing. The guys are calm, we’re not even talking about others doing this and that,’ Katsande told KCTV.

‘We are only focused on our job, having fun and working hard, and listening to what the coach wants us to do.

‘What we can just say to the supporters is: “Just keep calm and have belief. Have faith in us. We still have control, and we’re still going to have control until the finish line.”‘
