Their eight-year trophy drought continues and their hopes of finishing in a CAF Champions League spot but all hope is not lost for Kaizer Chiefs according to midfielder Siyethemba Sithebe.
Chiefs take on SuperSport United at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Saturday, the penultimate match of what has been an indifferent season for the Glamour Boys.

Their last chance of lifting silverware this season went up in smoke when they lost in the Nedbank Cup semi-final to Orlando Pirates last weekend.
Now, Chiefs are hoping to salvage their season by finishing in third place on the DStv Premiership standings, and a win against Matsatsantsa could go a long way in ensuring that.
"All I can say is we know SuperSport and how they play. We need to be prepared for the long balls they play, and I think all our preparations are going well. The coach told us, We can't lose to Supersport, no matter what and with all our preparation, I think he is more positive that we can win this game," Sithebe said via the club's website.
The midfielder also opened up on his season which saw him move from the periphery to becoming a regular fixture in coach Arthur Zwane's side.
"For me, it's coming to the end of the season, and I have played a lot of games. Even though I struggled here and there in the beginning of the season, I told myself that when I come back, I need to work hard to be consistent in helping the team, so the most important thing has been to keep trying to improve," he continued.
