REVEALED: What’s behind Ox Mthethwa’s strong return

Published on by Nkosiyabuya Sithole

Kaizer Chiefs midfielder, Sibongiseni “Ox” Mthethwa, made a strong impression in his recent match against Richards Bay

His impressive performance has sparked curiosity about the factors behind his resurgence.

Mthethwa's appearance marked his first competitive outing for Amakhosi this season. He displayed commendable control and poise in midfield during the first half.

It seems that the guidance of Amakhosi coach, Cedric Kaze, has played a significant role in Mthethwa's development. 

The former Stellenbosch FC player appears to be thriving under Kaze's tutelage, gradually reaching his full potential.

CEDRIC KAZE BEHIND MTHETHWA’S REVIVAL

“You see since coach Kaze arrived he has been working with Ox and he saw his strength which other defensive midfielders in the team don't have,” the insider told Soccer Laduma.

“He then spoke to coach Nabi about it but during the FIFA break there was no (official) game where they could have played him. But then the Home of Legends was the perfect time to give him a chance and he proved himself.

“In both games against Golden Arrows and Mamelodi Sundowns he played 90 minutes and the coaches were happy. 

“And remember, coach Kaze was in charge and he has seen what Ox can do. With the arrival of coach Kaze, his future is almost settled now,”
