Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu has opened up on his recent form, while also explaining what has sparked Amakhosi’s improved fortunes as they push for a top-three finish.
The Soweto giants are on a three-match winning streak in the Betway Premiership as they appear to have buried a difficult run of losing four games on the trot. Their current form has breathed life into the bid to secure a place in the CAF Confederation Cup at the end of the campaign.
Nine league games remain for Amakhosi before they conclude their season. Their fixtures include the Soweto Derby showdown against Orlando Pirates and a visit to Mamelodi Sundowns.
However, Chiefs are riding on the wave of their impressive form while Ndlovu is on a high after scoring his first goal since August 2025 when he struck against Orbit College FC in the league on Easter Monday.
NDLOVU EXPLAINS THE REASON BEHIND CHIEFS’ TURNAROUND
“It’s so great to move from one to the second goal of the season. It all comes down to the effort that we have been putting in as a team, because we made an agreement as a team that there are certain things that are going to change,” said Ndlovu.
“We will be committed to those changes, and we are going to be committed to everything that we do. So, I’m happy that I got my second goal of the season. And obviously, we really understand the expectations for us as a club, but we have been moving great and doing things great. So far, we feel great about what we have achieved for this season.
“There’s still room for improvement, but yes, we take it one game at a time.”
CHIEFS SHIFT FOCUS ON TROUBLED TS GALAXY
Amakhosi switch attention to hosting struggling TS Galaxy in a Betway Premiership clash at FNB Stadium on Sunday afternoon. They welcome in their backyard a wounded side reeling from an eight-match winless streak that includes seven defeats and a draw.
“At this time of the season, it is so difficult to predict because everyone is playing for something. So, even a point matters now,” added Ndlovu. “It’s going to be a very interesting game. We just need to thoroughly prepare very well for them and then continue with our winning streak because that’s what we need at this time and point to really finish in a high position.
“I think for a club of this magnitude, the expectations are very high. We also need to live up to the standards of the expectations. But obviously, the best way to live on that is to make sure that we get back to our winning streak, and probably people will come back to the stadium and we need to play better football. Hopefully, people will start to have faith more.”
THE SPIRIT IN CHIEFS’ CAMP TO MAINTAIN CURRENT FORM
“It’s just unity for us. We need to be committed to everything we do. It’s a crucial time of the season. A lot of injuries can occur, everyone is playing for points or something,” Ndlovu, a former Orlando Pirates midfielder, went on.
“So, it’s very crucial, and we need to stick together at this time and point and make sure that in every game we fight until the end. The most important thing is to give the fans a fight, even if it’s not a good day, give them a fight, show that you are fighting. That is important in the remaining games”.
