Kaizer Chiefs defender Zitha Kwinika believes Amakhosi are creating an environment of winners as the club maintains its unbeaten start to the Betway Premiership season.Speaking to the club’s media department ahead of Wednesday’s clash against Richards Bay, the 32-year-old defender outlined how new coaching, new tactics, and positive results are combining to build momentum at Naturena.

Kwinika credited the coaching staff for implementing a clear tactical identity that players understand and enjoy executing.

“I think the team is also coping well with the new coaches, the new season. I think we’ve proven in the games we’ve played that we are a different team. The style of play, the structure and how we do things. So I think it’s proven that there’s improvement. There’s new tactics that are being placed and trying to get to a certain way of playing that we enjoy and we all understand and helping and getting better as a team. I would say I’m doing well,” Kwinika said.

The experienced defender also highlighted the contributions of the club’s new arrivals, pointing to Langelihle Phili and Luke Baartman as examples of players who are grasping their opportunities and proving that the squad is moving in the right direction.

“I’m doing well, I think, building up to the new season, getting a bit of momentum and growing into the games we’ve played so far. The new players, I think, are doing well. I chose a team like your [Langelihle] Phili came in, scored a goal. And then maybe like your [Luke] Baartman. Yes, they’ve been with the team, but now getting an opportunity to start games and all. That shows that we are in the right direction. And most of the players are understanding what’s required from them,” he added.

Kwinika concluded by emphasising the importance of maintaining momentum through positive results, suggesting that a winning habit is the foundation upon which the club’s revival is being built.

“I think that’s the best way to keep the momentum, getting good results, mainly winning games. That’s the only way to keep the momentum going, the environment, the confidence. So I think getting used to winning is important because it just creates an environment of winners and winners get stronger by day,” Kwinika concluded.
