“My passion is with development as development is key. Schools’ football must be back. I’m enjoying myself working with kids at schools as I’m the coach of the KZN Under-13 school team.

“I was well developed by Chiefs so I know what it takes to get there as a player. If you look at the players who come from development you will see the difference between them and those who didn’t go to development. Development is the way forward. This country is so blessed with talent and it just needs guidance from the right people,” added the 37-year-old.
