"This is a big team and this team deserves to play and compete in the CAF Champions League each and every season and that's exactly what we're aiming for," Mabasa told SuperSport.
"And I believe we can achieve it, hopefully, things are not currently in our hands.
"Stellenbosch still has to play but we'll continue to do the business and collect three points wherever we can."

Mabasa moved on to 13 league goals for this season and he says he will continue working hard to score more.
"I'm a striker, I'm critical on the chances that I miss," he added.
"So if I get to have at least five shots in a game I want three of them to go into the back of the net, that's me, that's who I am and I'll continue to work on it in order to achieve those numbers I've set for myself," he said.
