Given Msimango was still a student at the University of Johannesburg when Kaizer Chiefs last won a trophy in 2015 but he knows all too well the pressure that is mounting on the current crop of players to deliver silverware.

Chiefs recently entered their ninth year without a trophy.
The 2023/24 Nedbank Cup is their last realistic shot at silverware and the players are giving it a full go with Milford FC their first test in their quest for glory this season.
Msimango, who is in his first season at Chiefs has acclimatized to the pressures that come with donning the famous Black and Gold and has been happy with his game so far.
"Personally, I feel good. My fitness levels are where they need to be for me to perform for the Club. I think I can also speak for my teammates in that we have been training very well, and working hard. Unfortunately, the result didn't go the way we wanted against Royal AM, but it is not something to linger on. We have seen where we can improve and made our corrections, so Milford will be another challenge for us to rectify our mistakes and win the game," he told the club's official website.
Msimango, like scores of players before him, is aware of the pressure that the team is facing in the current climate - but has urged the club's supporters to be realistic and exercise patience with the current crop of players.
"Our supporters know all too well that it has been a long time since the Club has won silverware," he continued.
"I don't want to sound like a broken record telling them it is a process, and they must be patient, which in all honesty is true, but as players we try to focus on the controllable, which is to focus on your game and giving the best performance possible to entertain the fans, because that is what they expect from Kaizer Chiefs. We want to win every match we play and thereby get the rewards our supporters deserve," he added.
