"It is crucial for us to start strongly, as the games will come thick and fast this season due to the AFCON break, in December and next year being a World Cup year," Motaung Jnr told the club's website.
"Additionally, we’ll be participating in the CAF Confederation Cup, meaning our schedule will be tight and busy.
"We believe we have reinforced key areas within the squad, but we know that recruitment is an ongoing process. We are very happy to be back in one of CAF’s prestigious competitions.
"We aim to build on our successful run in 2021 that saw us go all the way to the finals of the CAF Champions League 2021 against Al Ahly in Morocco," added the former Amakhosi attacker.
"When we went to the Netherlands for our preseason, our primary focus was to work on getting the team fully ready for this season.
"We have also played against PSL opposition behind closed doors as we needed to ensure the requisite readiness for the guys going into this first weekend of the new league campaign."
