The Buccaneers ended their tour of Zambia on a high note after claiming a win over Forest Rangers, managing to claim two wins and two draws from four friendlies played before they return to South Africa on Thursday.
Mokwena believes his sides are on a ‘steady incline’ as they continue to prepare for the season ahead following their success in Zambia.
‘So far so good. I think as a technical team we can be content, not just with the enthusiasm and the desire to learn that the players are showing, but their coachability and ability to transfer it from a theoretical perspective into practicality,’ Mokwena told his club’s official website.
‘When you watch the game against TP Mazembe, although we suffered in certain parts of the game physically, we dominated possession for the most part and that is key for our game model.

‘When we played Power Dynamos, we were in control and extremely dominant in both the first and second match.
‘For us, those are signs of the work that we want to do because regardless of the opponent, we want to be the dominant force on the pitch.
‘We are a big team and so we have to show that big-team personality by imposing our game on the opposition.’
