Mfundo Vilakazi is one of the talents sprouting at Naturena and despite being 18, he has made the Kaizer Chiefs senior team.The teenager has already been involved in competitive fixtures and is not afraid of being thrown into deep waters in the future.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Vilakazi made his debut for Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup's Round of 32 where <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/kaizer-chiefs-wanted-to-beat-milford-with-muthi-i-wish-they-meet-orlando-pirates-in-the-round-of-16-but-amakhosi-will-win-the-league-after-this-defeat-fans/blteb2ef21d3206188a" target="_blank">Amakhosi suffered a shock loss against second-tier side Milford FC</a>.He also made an appearance in the Premier Soccer League's Soweto Derby 3-2 loss against Orlando Pirates.The youngster is happy with the steps he has made and is ready for the challenge ahead.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"It was very emotional for me, people on social media always said I’m a ball boy," Vilakazi told <a href="https://farpost.co.za/2024/03/27/people-always-said-im-a-ball-boy-chiefs-starlet-mfundo-vilakazi/" target="_blank">Far Post</a>."On the day I played my first match, it was the right time for me. It was an opportunity to show what I am capable of doing on the field of play."Honestly, I wasn’t pressured that I’m still yet to play for the Kaizer Chiefs senior team. I had told myself that my time would come no matter what," he added."Even if it was going to be this year or next year, I knew that I was going to play for the senior team. It’s pointless to get an opportunity early and then fail to deliver and go back to the [second-tier league]."

WHAT VILAKAZI SAID

The youngster might be involved when Amakhosi play Cape Town City in the PSL game on Saturday at Athlone Stadium.If he remains consistent, then he will surely play a big role as Chiefs try to end their trophy drought next season.
