The Chilli Boys will welcome Mamelodi Sundowns to the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium for their MTN8 semi-final first leg on Sunday afternoon.
Though the former AmaZulu fullback has admitted respect for the reigning Absa Premiershing champions, he beleives there is no reason why the Port Elizabeth-based side cannot finish top in the competition.
“If we can win this competition, then there’s an opportunity to grow the belief within the team," he added.
“This is a platform to show what we are capable of doing and this will help with confidence going forward.”
Last season Dan Malesela guided Chippa to their first top eight finish in the Absa Premiership as they finished in sixth place, making this their maiden entrance into the MTN8 competition.
