Mfundo Vilakazi targets growth at Kaizer Chiefs

Mfundo Vilakazi, a 20-year-old midfielder for Kaizer Chiefs, is focused on personal development and team consistency during the 2026/27 Betway Premiership season. Following an unbeaten start to the campaign, which includes victories over Kruger United and Sekhukhune United and a draw against Mamelodi Sundowns, Vilakazi aims to refine his game under the guidance of new head coach Fernando Da Cruz.

Vilakazi noted that the early season results have provided a significant confidence boost for the squad. He expressed a commitment to becoming a more complete team player and trusting the new tactical strategies implemented by the coaching staff.

The midfielder also highlighted the positive impact of new signings, specifically praising Langelihle Phili. Phili, a former youth teammate of Vilakazi, has made an immediate impression by earning man-of-the-match honors in his debut and scoring in his subsequent appearance against Mamelodi Sundowns.
