AmaKhosi failed to progress to the Nedbank Cup final after they lost 2-0 to Free State Stars on Saturday.
Katsande concedes that they are experiencing tough times, with their main issue being their inability to convert chances in front of goal.
"It's tough, the gods aren't smiling on us as you can see. We concede goals in critical phases of which we should've dealt with better. They got two chances and converted, us we got many and didn't convert," Komphela told SuperSport after the game.
"It's been our problem the past three seasons that we are not converting chances by doing that, one mistake at the back and we lose matches."
The Amakhosi have done the unthinkable and gone three seasons without any silverware, which has led Steve Komphela to resign from his role with immediate effect.
"At the end of the day, life has to go on there's nothing we can do whatever happened. We can only react what's going to happen tomorrow. We just need to go back to the drawing and correct one or two things," he added.
"We knew even if we win the cup there were going to be changes. Obviously, the management is going to work on rectifying one or two mistakes"

"I think we need to convert our chances because you could see we have got a young team whereby they are growing and are learning from this big mistake and obviously come next season they know how it is going how it is to play for Kaizer Chiefs," he added.
