The Glamour Boys captain has opened up on the psychological boost driving the squad ahead of their long-awaited return to the MTN8. Amakhosi are preparing to face Abafana Bes'thende at FNB Stadium following a painful two-season absence from South Africa's prestigious season-opening tournament.
The former Kaizer Chiefs star has expressed his unwavering belief that South Africa is entering a new golden era. The FCSB defender highlighted the depth of young talent currently rising through the ranks as the primary reason for his optimism regarding the national team's trajectory.
Amakhosi faithful are daring to dream again following the arrival of the 21-year-old winger, with the former striker backing the youngster to be the catalyst for a long-awaited Premier Soccer League title. The Soweto giants have started the new campaign with renewed energy, sparking hope that their league title drought is finally nearing an end.
The were rumours in the media that Amakhosi were not quite done with Stellenbosch FC after landing Langelihle Phili and that proved to be the case on Thursday when it was announced that Faiz Abrahams had signed a season-long loan with an option to buy with the Naturena club.
South Africa's participating clubs discovered their opponents in the preliminary rounds of continental competition for the 2026-2027 season after the draw ceremony took place at the headquarters of the Confederation of African Football in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
The Glamour Boys are desperate to end their long-standing trophy drought, and the goalkeeper believes the upcoming MTN8 campaign provides the perfect platform to transform the club's fortunes. Amakhosi are preparing for a high-stakes quarter-final clash against Golden Arrows this Sunday, marking their return to a competition they have painfully missed in recent years.
