'PSL title is not beyond us'

Johannesburg - Reneilwe Letsholonyane believes clinching the league title will not be beyond Kaizer Chiefs if they continue their winning ways.

Amakhosi have been in fine fettle during December, recording victories in four out of six clashes. The Soweto giants are six points behind leaders SuperSport and still have a shot at the championship.

The midfielder is aware that Chiefs will have to win all their remaining games, before worrying about the results secured by Matsatsantsa and Mamelodi Sundowns.

"We cannot say that we are placing any pressure on ourselves by wanting or needing to win these matches as this is what we have to do in order to win the league," he told the club's official website.

"Winning these games enhances our chances of lifting the league title and we are willing to work hard to do whatever it takes to ensure that we can do that."

Amakhosi will play six matches when the PSL resumes in February and Letsholonyane is targeting nothing less than maximum points in all those fixtures.

"In December we had six matches and we won four of them if we carry on working as hard as we did in December through January and into February winning six games will not be beyond us," he added.

"We have the character the resolve and the desire to want to win these games as winning them will be the difference between the season ending with us winning the league or not."

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
