Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Lehlohonolo Majoro has elaborated on why Amakhosi forward Wandile Duba brings to mind his own playing days.
Having recently become a fan favourite thanks in large part to his crucial goals across competitions, the 20-year-old forward particularly made his mark in the Nedbank Cup semifinal against Mamelodi Sundowns by scoring just before Ashley Du Preez scored the winning goal.
The 20-year-old striker has had a productive season, netting six goals and providing three assists across the Betway Premiership, Carling Knockout Cup, and Nedbank Cup.
His performances have particularly impressed Majoro, who stated that the youngster is the striker who has caught his eye the most this season, noting that Duba's confidence is reminiscent of his own playing days.
DUBA, ONE OF STRIKERS WHO IMPRESSED MAJORO
“At Chiefs, it’s [Wandile] Duba. Him being injured really affected Kaizer Chiefs. Duba is one player that I see myself in, because he’s resilient,” said Majoro on iDiski Times.
“He has a never-say-die attitude. His confidence is often mistaken as attitude or arrogance. I don’t understand because if you know what you are capable of doing, people are quick to say, you are arrogant or he thinks that ‘he’s all that’.
“For a youngster to have such confidence and not only score goals but also create, and when the team needs him to go defend, he goes all the way to defend and still attack.
“Remember, Duba, we knew him as a striker, but like now, Coach [Nasreddine] Nabi is playing him more on the sides where he’s required to go forward and come back.
“His application of himself within that position has really inspired me, and he’s one player that I say at Kaizer Chiefs kudos to him.”
