In a team struggling to find the back of the net, Wandile Duba is relishing his chances in the Kaizer Chiefs first team, having had his first taste of game time this weekend.

Chiefs fans can become accustomed to the burly striker and perhaps even more so this season.
Cavin Johnson's men have been struggling for goals and have found the back of the net just 16 times in 18 matches this season – their worst ever return at this point of any campaign.
And while he has not yet been proven at senior level, Duba has shown glimpses of promise that he could be the long-term solution to not only Chiefs' goal drought but their nine-year trophy drought too.
The 20-year-old recently shared his delight on making an appearance in Chiefs' stalemate against Moroka Swallows last weekend.
"I was very grateful to the coach for giving me a chance against Swallows. It was exciting to be back in the Gold Black. I have been working hard since the mini pre-season and the coaching staff have been very encouraging, telling me I will get my chance. I must just be patient and keep working hard," he told the club's official website.
Another opportunity may be presented to Duba in Chiefs' midweek match against struggling Golden Arrows at FNB Stadium on Tuesday.
"We have prepared for Arrows. We are ready for them and willing to give everything. Against Swallows we were a man down so we had to put in extra effort and we showed a good attitude. We must take that into our next two matches. We know we play Pirates in the Derby on the weekend but we are only focused on Arrows for now. We can't look ahead yet. We want to win the next game we play, and that is Golden Arrows," he concluded.
