Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Kaizer Chiefs\u2019 gentle giant Thatayaone Ditlhokwe has boldly predicted that the current generation will bring back the glory days that have eluded Amakhosi in the last eight years. The 25-year-old was still a teenager the last time Chiefs lifted a trophy in 2015.<\/p>\n

While the club\u2019s supporters were waiting for Chiefs to end the trophy drought, the Botswana international was making his way up the football chain \u2013 first, turning professional at Gaborone United in 2018 before moving to Township Rollers and then signing for SuperSport United just before the devastation of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

While the world looked like it was coming to an end, Ditlhokwe\u2019s was just beginning \u2013 culminating in him joining Amakhosi in July this year. In Chiefs, Ditlhokwe signed for a club that hasn\u2019t given its supporters something to feast on in almost a decade.<\/p>\n

But he believes that will change soon, and not just because Chiefs launched their brand of potato chips on Monday. \u201cIf you worry too much, and you stress yourself about what has happened, and what hasn\u2019t happened [then you will struggle],\u201d said Dithokwe in a calm and measured tone at the club\u2019s headquarters in Naturena.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important thing is the road that will take you [towards success].<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not about what you want, you can have the will to win but if you don\u2019t have what it takes to win, then that will remain a dream which will not manifest. It\u2019s all about focusing on what can take you there.<\/p>\n

As you can see, the Chiefs that started the first game and the Chiefs you are seeing now \u2013 there is an improvement, and that is the road that will take us back to the glory days.<\/p>\n

\u201d Standing in the way of Chiefs will be Cape Town City. Amakhosi will host the Citizens at FNB Stadium on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

Chiefs recorded their first win of the season against City in the MTN8 in August, but were brought crashing down by TS Galaxy in the DStv Premiership a week after that victory.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s been the story of Amakhosi this season, gaining confidence with a morale-boosting win but instead of building on that, crashing down soon after \u2013 resulting in supporters baying for coach Molefi Ntseki\u2019s blood.<\/p>\n

Ditlhokwe, who has played every minute of Chiefs\u2019 league campaign, has had a front-row seat to that rollercoaster ride. But he remains optimistic, crediting the work sport psychologist Dr.<\/p>\n

Henning Gericke has played in bringing about that positive mindset in him and his teammates. Ntseki is also wearing this positive mindset despite the pressure he is under and his turbulent relationship with the supporters.<\/p>\n

The former Bafana Bafana coach says that everyone at the club has been supportive during this trying time. \u201cThe good thing is that we don\u2019t entertain negativity which really helps,\u201d Ntseki said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause if you do, you end up dwelling too much into negativity and you end up doubting yourself and your abilities. Even if you have lost a game, we will always look at the positives.<\/p>\n

That is the support that I am getting from everybody, saying we had a good game but we couldn\u2019t win and the next game is more important than the last one.\u201d<\/p>\n
