Khalil Ben Youssef has detailed how they are working minus the presence of head coach Nasreddine Nabi.
Chiefs have collected six points from two games without Nabi who had to travel back to Tunisia to be with his wife ahead of the season opener against Stellenbosch.

Without Nabi, it has been business as usual for Chiefs with Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze calling the shots.
There has been little to suggest Chiefs miss their head coach igniting questions related to the team continuing with this arrangement if they are winning.
"I think this point we have discussed a lot about it…the coach is here, or the coach is not here," says Ben Youssef ahead of Tuesday’s league match against Richards Bay at FNB Stadium.
"We are a technical staff and all of us are familiar, and we work together.
"We keep contact every day.
"Every training session we discuss on zoom and every day we have meetings as the technical staff to discuss about all the players.
"We prepare for the game together and while coach Nabi is not here physically, but he is with us.

"We work together and are a team, we help each other, and we don’t think about who is here, who is not here.
"We are all a technical staff, and we work together," says Youssef.
Chiefs also played games minus Nabi on the bench last season as he was serving suspension.
