‘We understand our supporters pain’, says Chiefs’ Kwinika

Zitha Kwinika says the Kaizer Chiefs players understand the pain of the club supporters as they look to move away from the bottom half of the DStv Premiership standinds.

Chiefs are currently lying in position 14 on the log having only won two matches in their opening seven matches of the season.

“We understand where they are and it pains us. You know, when you meet someone telling you, ‘I can’t sleep, whatever you are doing, I’m not happy’, it pains you because we know we are part of that journey. But I can promise the supporters that we understand where we are and understand what we need to do,” says Kwinika as quoted by the club’s website.

“This is our work. We are here to work, also for our families and obviously to represent the brand, because the badge is the main thing and we understand how big the badge is. This is not the true reflection of the log. Two wins and we’ll be on top. I think other teams have played eight games and while games in hand are not points, if we win those games we’re back on top where we belong and we promise them, this season we will make them smile,” he added.

Chiefs will next face SuperSport United at FNB Stadium on Saturday and Kwinika says it is important for them to get maximum points from this game.

“SuperSport is a very good team with the players they have, but I think it’s for us also now to knuckle down, soldier on, man up and get the result. We need to startgetting results. Black or blue, we just have to grind out results.

“Obviously, we are playing at home and it is something we spoke about as a team, that any team that comes to FNB must not come out on top so we are going to take it to them. We can’t afford to drop more points at this point in time.”
