We will fight until the last whistle – Mkhabela

Platinum Stars utility player Enocent Mkhabela says Dikwena shouldn’t give up the fight, but rather focus on amassing maximum points in their remaining matches.


With just three matches to go, Roger De Sa’s side remains at the bottom of the Absa Premiership table with 21 points.

“In life, whether you do good or bad, people will always talk. What I believe is that it is not over until it’s over. I believe we can make it. There’s still a chance. Nine points can make a big difference. We have to focus on our game plan. Anything is possible if we can only win our remaining games,” said Mkhabela.

Mkhabela, who plays as a defender and midfielder, says Dikwena should focus on garnering maximum points at the expense of AmaZulu, whom they host at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace this coming Wednesday night.

“Amazulu want to make the top eight so it’s not going to be easy. We must not focus on them too much. We must focus on our plan and be positive. If we can pull together in the same direction we can make it. We need to take our chances. We need to apply ourselves very well,” said Mkhabela.

For the better part of the season, Dikwena have found it hard when it comes to scoring and Mkhabela says more needs to be done.

“Before you score, you must create chances. We don’t create enough chances. We must create chances to give our strikers opportunities to score. We do play well but when we get to the final third we don’t do that well. If we can create more we can score. We will fight until the final whistle and make sure that we win all our games,” said Mkhabela.

Kickoff is at 7.30pm.
