Amakhosi have enjoyed one of their most successful seasons since 2020, finishing third in the 2025/26 Betway Premiership campaign with 54 points.

“I think it’s the will power of the players,” the 36-year-old said as quoted by iDiski Times.

“As well as the amount of time they spent together because building a team is a process. It’s not a one season or like short term period.

“You need a longer period of time. I think they’ve been playing together for quite some time so that’s why they‘ve been able to get those combinations.”

Akpeyi lauds Chiefs management after technical changes

Former Kaizer Chiefs keeper Daniel Akpeyi has weighed in on Amakhosi’s decision to cut ties with co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef.

With the duo already lining up immediate returns to the Betway Premiership and Fernando da Cruz heavily linked to Naturena, Akpeyi shares his thoughts on the coaching shake-up.

“Sometimes it depends on the decision the management wants to make to see how they can solidify other areas of the team. So this can boil down to decision-making,” said Akpeyi.

“Yes, you can say it turns out to be for the good or something else. But I would like to believe that the management knows what they are doing, and they only look forward to the best for the team, and I’m very sure they will be able to get a coach who will take the team further.”
