Chiefs are counting down the days to their first ever Champions League which will have holders Al Ahly as the opponents on July 17 in Casablanca, Morocco.
Reaching this final is a huge moment for Chiefs, who are now on the brink of becoming the third South African club to lift the trophy after 1995 champions Orlando Pirates and 2016 winners Mamelodi Sundowns.
"Being in the CAF finals makes me really happy because this is the level at which most people have wished to be," Mashiane told the club's media team.
The 23-year-old made 25 appearances this season, including four in the Champions League.
"We shall carry on working very hard to achieve this [winning the Champions League] since we are due to play in a CAF final with Al Ahly. Being in the CAF final is something that will give my career a boost," he continued.
"It is [winning the trophy] something that everyone is hoping to achieve. I feel very much lucky to achieve this [being in the final] at an early age therefore I shall cherish it and be happy that I was able to do it.
"Our club did not have a promising start this season. In that case, this shall serve as a morale booster. It means a lot for the club, the plus being that it is our first time breaking so many records.
"We are the only South African club that was able to get to the finals. That means a lot to the South Africans, it means a lot to us as individuals and most of all to us as a team.
"Al Ahly is a well performing team and we must not look down on it. They have a good coach [Pitso Mosimane] as well so we shall go there well prepared and ready to conquer.
"To our followers, you should carry on supporting us through the rainy and sunny days. We appreciate all they have done for us to date. We shall continue working hard and making sure we bring home the cup."
