Amakhosi edged Bloemfontein Celtic 2-1 in the semifinal that was over two legs.
Chiefs will contest title honours with Ajax Cape Town, who beat Bidvest Wits by the same scoreline yesterday.
When asked how he felt after guiding the club to its second successive Top 8 Final, the much travelled coach rolled back the years.
"I will reiterate, it's not only about me but that question triggers some element of self-glory or appreciation," Komphela told reporters. "And I will never move towards that.
"Football is otherwise and if you don't respond, sometimes people choose not to remember and when you do remind, they move to a level of saying wait a minute, you can't dial yourself, your phone will be on busy."
The former Maritzburg United coach refreshed memories of all and sundry in the media room of his CV.
"In 2004 we were in the Absa Cup Final in Bloemfontein and I had gone to coach Manning Rangers," he recalls.
"We assisted them to get out of relegation. We went to the cup final and we lost against Moroka Swallows, a team that was coached by Gavin Hunt then and how we lost?
"Manning Rangers had signed players whose contacts ended before we could go to that final so we couldn't use the squad that was playing in that particular competition. So the reason why I'm giving this background is that for lack of explaining this, it has lead to people forgetting so you don't want to remind them because they will say wait a minute, there he starts again."
The 48-year-old wasn't finished as he turned the spotlight on his past with the South African junior national team.
"It was in 2004 again and we went to Cosafa Cup and I was coach of the U-20s and we won the Cosafa Cup tournament," he continued in a response that lasted three minutes.
"Rainford Kalaba was part of the kids that played in Pretoria and we beat them in the final. We became champions of the Cosafa Cup U-20.
"I spent the better part of my coaching at national level and I'm sure anybody whose got a good history of national football know it's not easy to win an international tournament. It would be very arrogant of Steve to come and say wait a minute, I'm a Cosafa Cup champion, I went to this and that... no it's not about that.
"When I said football is a movement was because I'm trying to say you will choose whether you want to keep it a sport and respond to sporting questions or you'd want to turn it into a religious moment where whatever responses you give are religious. Or you can play an easy one, the political game, where you point fingers at everybody but I'm not going to do that.
"All I can say is that im grateful to be here. This club has given me a perfect platform for me to grow and maybe because of the magnitude of the club people will remember very often all the little successes that I happen to be part of because this institution is fertile for success.
"I'm not reminding people and I hope this is not going to be written, I'm just saying to this house, humbly so, let me remind but don't remember," he concluded.
