Macufe Cup to be played by Kaizer Chiefs and Royal AM at Free State Stadium on Sunday (3pm)
“We needed this game because we wanted to improve on certain aspects of our game, we wanted to make sure we get the chemistry right and that’s why we wanted to play this game,” Zwane told the media.
The likes of Austin Dube, Happy Mashiane, Thabo Mokoena, Sabelo Radebe, Keletso Sifama, Kamohelo Mahlatsi and Phathutshedzo Nange are expected to feature in the encounter while some of the first-team players will also get a run out in a bid to boost their confidence.
“We will also give other players the opportunity, those who aren’t playing regularly at the moment because we want to keep everyone on the same level of fitness,” Zwane explained.
“So that the privilege of having this type of games, it might be like practice matches but they are still games that are going to be watched on tv and people coming to the stadium.
“For the players, it will still help them at their utmost best and for us as well it’s to get the combinations right because our next game is against AmaZulu, in the cup game, so that will help us as well going forward.”
Amakhosi return to action against Usuthu in the first leg on the MTN8 semi-final on Sunday the 2nd of Octover at FNB Stadium.
