Du Preez returned to the Chiefs match-day squad from injury in their last game against Richards Bay FC.
The forward was introduced in the second half against the Natal Rich Boyz, as the Glamour Boys sealed a 1-0 victory at FNB Stadium last weekend, with the club recording their third victory in a row.
Du Preez, who has been out of the team since October due an injury, believes the team has been working hard to be where they are at the moment.
“The three big games that we have won have been amazing for the team. That’s what we want, we want to continue with our winning mentality going into our last game – the last game of the year. We want to go out there and firstly enjoy ourselves and then get three points so that we end the year on a high note. I think for us as a team, we have been striving to do better and to win games, said the Amakhosi forward.
“My contribution is to keep the winning mentality and help the team get three points. That’s what I want to do in this last game, to work extremely hard.”
