Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Mokete Tsotetsi is not surprised to see how Siyabonga Ngezana has been able to return to the starting line-up and perform well for the team recently.
Ngezana was subject to some serious criticism in the first half of the season, as Amakhosi made costly errors at the back in a few of their matches.

The 25-year-old Amakhosi product was an unused substitute in five consecutive matches before he returned to the starting line-up for the DStv Premiership clash against Royal AM at the end of January. He played in central defence alongside Edmilson Dove as the Soweto giants registered a 2-0 victory over the KZN outfit.
In the following two matches, against TS Galaxy in the Premiership and the Nedbank Cup last 32 clash away at Maritzburg United, Ngezana played at right back, due to the injuries suffered by Reeve Frosler and Dillan Solomons recently.
"Ngezana understands how Chiefs plays. He worked with coach Arthur during their time in the Diski Challenge and they are still working together. They understand each other. Even though there were those mistakes early in the season, it was one of those... He's got his form back and that is good.
Tsotetsi added: "He has made an impact and that is a good addition. The more you don't concede, the more confidence you get as a defender."
