“I can just say that this is the cup that gives us hope,” Ditlhokwe told the Kaizer Chiefs website.

“It is the last trophy for us to compete for this season. Despite giving our level best, we haven’t won anything yet.

“We don’t know much about them. But at the end of the day it is all about focusing on ourselves, preparing and remaining focused in our objective to win. Our only objective is to win this Cup, there’s nothing more. We have only one thing in our minds.”
