WHAT HE SAID: "Friday night at Harry Gwala is normally a special occasion on its own," Davids said as quoted by iDiski Times.

"And Kaizer Chiefs coming to the city brings excitement. It’s definitely a match both teams want to win – Kaizer Chiefs are playing for silverware, and this is probably the competition they would really focus on and we are playing to win."
